How can sedimentary and igneous rocks be formed in to metamorphic rocks?
No matter what kinds of rocks they are they can be changed into any other kind of rock. Sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks can become metamorphic rocks with either contact or regional metamorphism. This means that either the rocks have been in contact with or close to high heat and high pressure that changes the rock.
What can sedimentary rocks make?
sedimentary rock can form rock such as sandstone that the Egyptian pyramids were built of or they can form the chalk that is used to write on the ground or on a black board.
What does slate change into when it is metamorphosed?
Many kinds of rocks both of igneous and sedimentary nature eg; Limestone (sedimentary ) to marble or granite or diorite (igneous) to gneiss.
Where does all the force come from to squeeze sediments together to form sedimentary rocks?
The main force is weight of overlying rocks , called overburden, which puts overburden pressure on sediments and make them compress and compacts
What are three main rocks found on this planet?
The three main rocks found on this planet are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic.
What rocks make sedimentary rocks?
The wind blows around dirt and sediment, and then that dirt solidifies into sedimentary rocks.
Make a sentence using sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are some kind of rock that i forgot about
How do igneous rocks from into a sedimentary rock?

heat and pressure.
What kinds of rock make up continental crust?

What do Metamorphic and Sedimentary rocks have in common?
It is more likely that igneous and metamorphic, or igneous and sedimentary rocks would have something in common than sedimentary and metamorphic. The reason is because the processes involved in making metamorphic rocks is completely different than the processes needed to make sedimentary rocks. Only high temperature, high pressure minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, amphibole can withstand these kinds of conditions. Take quartz and feldspar, two of the most abundant minerals found in sedimentary rocks, these minerals would not be found in abundance in metamorphic rocks because they are not high temperature, high pressure rocks. But the most simple answer is that all the major groups of rocks are made of minerals. Metamorphic has high pressure and Igneous does to and both made from a particle called magma.
What is it called when a rocks particles come of and make another rock from the particles?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the fragments of other rocks
