The way in which they were formed.
What else can I help you with?
What does rocks do?
They does nothing but sit there. There is such thing as a rock cycle though, which makes the different types of rocks (sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous) and it recycles them into each others. Hope this answers your question ;) (its not very detailed)
How can a igneous rocks change into a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks can change to igneous rock when it goes through the rock cycle so a sediment can move to igneous rock where there is a volcanic activity happens making the the sediment get heat and pressure that makes igneous rock.So when you do the rock cycle you can go from igneous rock to a metamorphic rock.
What makes up about 95 percent of the rocks in earths crust?
Igneous and metamorphic rock make up 95% of the rocks in Earth's crust. Only a thin layer is made up of sedimentary rock.
How does metamorphic rock transform to sediment?
metamorphic rocks get compacted and cemented together until it becomes sedimentary rocks. they can also get crystallized underwater into sedimentary rock. hope you find this helpful!!! :)when a rock is put under a lot of heat and pressure it morphs into a sedimentary rock.
What order is the rock cycle in?
First magma then there is heat and pressure which makes igneous rock then compaction, deposition, and cementation that makes sedimentary rock then more heat and pressure but not enough heat and pressure to melt it but enough to change it to metamorphic rock! and there you have it it's The Rock Cycle
What makes the 3 types of rocks different?
The three types of rocks - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic - are different in terms of how they are formed. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten material, sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of mineral and organic particles, while metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure within the Earth's crust.
What type of rock igneous metamorphic or sedimentary makes up most of the continents?
The type of rock would be igneous.
What makes a sedimentary or igneous rock form to a metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure is applied to the rock and it becomes a metamorphic rock.

What makes a rock?
A metamorphic rock is made when an igneous or sedimentary rock undergoes heat and pressure for many years, changing it into another type of rock.
What process changes a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock can change intometamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rockcan change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals.
How can a igneous rocks change into a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks can change to igneous rock when it goes through the rock cycle so a sediment can move to igneous rock where there is a volcanic activity happens making the the sediment get heat and pressure that makes igneous rock.So when you do the rock cycle you can go from igneous rock to a metamorphic rock.
What rocks make up the most of the Earth's crust?
granite makes up the world's continental crust. there are other types of rocks but granite is the main one.
What makes up about 95 percent of the rocks in earths crust?
Igneous and metamorphic rock make up 95% of the rocks in Earth's crust. Only a thin layer is made up of sedimentary rock.
How can sedimentary rock becomes a metamorphic rock?
When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock
Why are sedimentary rocks softer than igneous rock?
It's because sedimentary rocks have big air spaces in them which makes them very porous, whereas igneous and metamorphic rocks are less porous, as the crystals are tightly packed.
What makes a sedimentary rock different from other types of rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments, such as sand or mud, over time. This process sets them apart from igneous rocks, which form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock, and metamorphic rocks, which are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure. Sedimentary rocks often contain fossils and layers, making them unique in their composition and appearance.
