What else can I help you with?
Are thunder eggs sedimentary and igneous rocks?
Thunder eggs are technically both sedimentary and igneous rocks. They are formed when gas bubbles in volcanic lava solidify and are later filled with various minerals, such as quartz. So, they have characteristics of both sedimentary (formed through deposition) and igneous (formed through cooling of magma or lava) rocks.
How do biochemical sedimentary rocks form?
Chemical sedimentary rocks form from solutions (water with something in it).
What type of rocks can melt into lava or magma?
Igneous rocks, specifically those that are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma, can melt back into lava or magma when subjected to high temperatures and pressure. Additionally, sedimentary rocks can also melt into magma if they are buried deep within the Earth's crust and exposed to extreme heat. Metamorphic rocks, formed under heat and pressure from existing rocks, can similarly melt into magma under sufficient conditions.
What type of rock is made from weathering and erosion?
Sedimentary rock is formed when igneous rocks weather to sediments, then the sediments compact to sedimentary rock. When Igneous rocks are subjected to heat and pressure but do not melt, they become metamorphic rock. When igneous rocks are melted they make other igneous rocks.
How do the rocks fit in the rock cycle?
Rocks are constantly being formed, broken down, and reformed in a process known as the rock cycle. Igneous rocks are formed from cooled magma or lava, which can then weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks. These sedimentary rocks can undergo heat and pressure to become metamorphic rocks, which can in turn melt and cool to form igneous rocks again, completing the cycle.
Can metamorphic rocks melt to form sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary is formed by compression. Metamorphic is created by heat and pressure. Sedimentary can be melted to create metamorphic.
What can happento a sedimentary rock once it is formed?
Sedimentary rocks can be eroded into sediments and form sedimentary rocks again, they can melt and become igneous rocks, and they can undergo extreme heat and pressure and become metamorphic rocks.
Do sedimentary rocks melt and become magma?
No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.

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.

If you found a rock with seashells in it would it be a sedimentary rock an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?
It is definitely a sedimentary rock because you cannot find sea shells where metamorphic rocks are formed, nor can you find them in magma and lava. This is because metamorphic rocks are formed below the earths surface where the plates of the earth squash an existing rock even small to make it metamorphic, and igneous rocks are obviously formed in volcanoes where the heat and pressure would melt the fossil.
How does a Sedimentary rock to an igneous rock?
The sedimentary rocks would have to melt and cool again to make an igneous rock.
Where would igneous rocks be at?
Igneous Rocks - Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma)
