What are the similarities between sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks?
They are both rocks
Is the difference between metamorphic rock igneous rock and sedimentary rock?

How are sedimentary and metamorphic rocks similar and different?
They are both rocks. Sedimentary can contain metamorphic rocks. and vice versa.
Is lime stone an igneous rock?
No, a limestone is a sedimentary rock. There are three types of rocks: sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous. That's the simple answer for the complex distinctions between the types of rocks.
According to the rock cycle what transitions are possible assume an unlimited number of steps?
In the rock cycle, rocks can transition between three main types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. For example, igneous rocks can weather and erode to form sediment, which can then compact and cement into sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks can be subjected to heat and pressure, transforming them into metamorphic rocks. Conversely, metamorphic rocks can melt into magma, which can cool and solidify into igneous rocks, creating a continuous cycle.
What is the name of the cycle that describes how rock changes over time between Sedimentary Igneous and metamorphic forms?
the rock cycle
What does cycle?
cycle means it cycles between sedimentary,metamorphic and igneous rocks. cycle means it cycles between sedimentary,metamorphic and igneous rocks. -Mrs.Zalenski

The rock cycle.
Can metamorphic rock form from sedimentary rocks?
Yes. A sedimentary rock, over time, can become buried under layers of newer rock. The heat and pressure from being in between layers of old and new rock, will change it from sedimentary to metamorphic.
Does metamorphic rocks have a higher porosity than sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks generally have higher porosity than metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments, which can leave pore spaces between grains. Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, have been subjected to heat and pressure, which can close up or reduce the pore spaces, leading to lower porosity.
How are sedimentary and metamorphic rocks similar and different?
They are both rocks. Sedimentary can contain metamorphic rocks. and vice versa.
How would you know the difference between igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic rock?
Igneous rocks form from cooling and solidification of magma or lava, sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of sediment, and metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rock through heat and pressure. By examining the texture, mineral composition, and sedimentary structures present in a rock sample, geologists can determine whether it is igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic.
Is lime stone an igneous rock?
No, a limestone is a sedimentary rock. There are three types of rocks: sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous. That's the simple answer for the complex distinctions between the types of rocks.
The five basic substances involved in the rock cycle?
The five basic substances involved in the rock cycle are igneous rock, sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock, magma, and sediment. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma, while sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediment. Metamorphic rocks are created through the alteration of existing rocks under high pressure and temperature conditions. Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while sediment consists of particles derived from the weathering and erosion of rocks. These substances interact and transform in a continuous cycle known as the rock cycle.
