What else can I help you with?
Which kind of rocks are produced from broken down bits of other kinds of rock?
Clastic sedimentary rocks.
If rock A cuts across rock B what does this indicate about their hardness?
If rock A cuts across rock B, it indicates that rock A is harder than rock B. Harder rocks are able to cut across softer rocks, indicating the relative hardness of the two rock types.
What are volcanic sills?
Magma that cuts parallel through rocks or rock walls
What kind of rocks are rocks in which the structure texture or composition have changed?
Metamophic Rock :)
What kind of rocks are most fossils excavated from?
bed rock.
What kind of rocks form when other pieces of rock and matter gather into layers?
a sedimentary rock is formed. depending on which rocks were squished, you can get different rocks

Kind of age that compares a rock with other rocks?
relative age
What is the kind of rock is the Grand Canyon?
A mix of sandstone and other sediment rocks

What is Pluto made up of?

What are detrial rocks a kind of rock?

What kind of rock does a metamorphic rock start as?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks.
What is the definoiton of metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have "morphed" into another kind of rock. These rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks.
What forces are in the rock cycle?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when other rocks (igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary) are weathered and eroded and their sediments are compacted and cemented together. Metamorphic rocks can be formed when heat and pressure is applied to any type of existing rock. Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools. The magma can be made up of melted rocks of any kind (sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic). The cycle repeats itself all the time and all of the rocks can come from any other kind of rock.
Are intrusive rocks younger than the rocks they cut across?
No, intrusive rocks are typically younger than the rocks they cut across. This is because they are formed when molten rock (magma) solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, usually after the surrounding rocks have already formed.
