Metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed by Lithification. Metamorphic rocks texture depends on how much eat and pressure was exerted on it. Sedimentary rocks texture is usually fine grained. Not much i could find on compare.
What else can I help you with?
What provides the heat that drives the formation of igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Earths hot interior
What two geological processes are involved in changing a metamorphic rock to an igneous rock?
The two geological processes involved in changing a metamorphic rock to an igneous rock are melting and solidification. When a metamorphic rock is subjected to high temperatures, it can melt to form magma. This molten material can then rise to the surface, where it cools and solidifies, resulting in the formation of igneous rock.
Which which mars rock contains fossils sedimentary igneous or metamorphic sedementary igneous or metamorphic.?
There is currently no confirmed evidence of fossils on Mars. Sedimentary rocks are usually associated with the formation and preservation of fossils on Earth, so if fossils were to be found on Mars, they would likely be in sedimentary rocks.
Is Stonehenge a sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?
igneous
What are often found in sedimentary rocks and not in either igneous or metamorphic rocks?
Fossils are often found in sedimentary rocks but are typically absent in igneous and metamorphic rocks. This is because sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation of sediments and organic materials, allowing for the preservation of biological remains. In contrast, the high temperatures and pressures involved in the formation of igneous and metamorphic rocks usually destroy any organic material, making fossilization impossible. Additionally, sedimentary rocks often contain features like layering and ripple marks, which are not characteristic of the other two rock types.
How does metamorphic rock formation compare to igneous rock formation?
Igneous rocks are formed in and around volcanos, metamorphic rocks are formed by the partial melting of rocks deep underground.
What is in the formation of igneous rocks but not in formation of metamorphic rocks?
igneous rocks form within earths surface
What famous formation has been built with igneous rocks?
BASALT is for igneous. SLATE is for metamorphic. LIMESTONE is for sedimentary.
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks through the process of heat and pressure, but they are more commonly associated with forming from existing metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks can indirectly contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks by heating up and altering surrounding rocks, leading to the formation of new metamorphic rocks.
What process is involved in the formation of all igneous rocks but not in the formation of metamorphic rocks?
mountain building
Rocks are classifed as?
mineral Sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic, based on their method of formation.
What provides the heat that drives the formation of igneous and metamorphic rock?
Earths hot interior
What provides the heat that drives the formation of igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Earths hot interior
What are the three types of rock and their formation?
there are 4 bill bob and jerry and the one in abi's head she likes to call a brain Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.
Can a rock be classified as sedimentary igneous or metamorphic by its method of formation?
Yes, a rock can be classified as sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic based on its method of formation. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of sediments, igneous rocks form from the solidification of magma or lava, and metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure.
Does the sun driver the processes that form igneous and metamorphic rocks?
No. Heat from the interior of the Earth trying to reach the surface drives lithospheric plate movements which are mostly responsible for the formation of igneous and metamorphic rocks.
Why Doesn't metamorphic rock occur at temperatures 1000 degrees or higher?
if rock melts it will form magma, which leads to the formation of igneous rocks
