You can find them all over the world. Go to a bookstore or library and find a guidebook for rocks and minerals. That will get you started.

What aren't you likely to find a fossil I metamorphic rock or igneous rock?

The fossils will be crushed under the pressures required to create metamorphic rocks and they will melt in the heat required to make igneous rocks.


What are the three types of rocks you can find at the Rocky Mountains?

The Rocky Mountains, notable for containing the highest peaks in central North America, are mostly metamorphic rock, although they also include a combination of sedimentary rock and igneous rock.


Why would you not expect to find a metamorphic rock in the recesses of the earth?

You WOULD expect to find metamorphic rocks in the recesses (deep layers) of the Earth's crust. But not in the mantle or core. Metamorphic means changed - and rocks - either sedimentary or igneous - get changed by the heat and pressures found in the deep crust.


Compare and contrast igneous and metamorphic rock formation?

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.


Where in the Bronx can one find igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?

If you can find an open piece of dirt, you can find rocks. All rocks fallinto those three categories. If you find a flat, smooth piece of rock, you might have found slate, a metamorphic rock. However, most metamorphic rocks are hard to find in the New York area, as there are few plate tectonics in these parts. Anyhow, look for rocks and use this rock key: http://www.rockhounds.com/rockshop/rockkey/index.html

Why aren't you likely to find a fossil in metamorphic or igneous rocks?

the fossils would be turned into another rock if it was in a metamorphic rock or igneous rocks. it requires a blanket of sediment

What kinds of rocks do you not find fossils in and why?

Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks, because the intense heat and pressure destroys fossils.


What would be near igneous rock?

Near igneous rocks, you might find other igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks, or sediments that were derived from the erosion and weathering of igneous rocks. Additionally, hot springs, geysers, and volcanic activity may be present in areas with igneous rocks.


What types of rocks are found in the rain forest?

In rainforests, you can find a variety of rocks, including igneous rocks like granite and basalt, sedimentary rocks like sandstone and limestone, and metamorphic rocks like marble and slate. These rocks provide the foundation for the diverse ecosystems found in rainforests.

Where can you find orthoclase?

Orthoclase can typically be found in granite and igneous rocks. It is also commonly present in some metamorphic rocks.

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.
