Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic rocks are all completely different rocks. Igneous rock is formed by the cooling and hardening of magma and is usually composed of very large particles. Sedimentary rock is formed by compaction and cementing of layers and is made up of dirt and sediment. Metamorphic rock is formed when heat and pressure is applied to rock.

The three rocks are all different rocks with different textures and the way they look. Sedimentary is forms with pressure and compaction, unlike igneous which is formed with to be exact,magma. metamorphic are formed with preexisting rock, when the heat and pressure get so high it it will create a whole different rock. Igneous and sedimentary are the parent rocks of metamorphic, although very different because of the way they are formed and the places they exist.

These rocks are different by the way they are formed, their texture, and where they can be found on Earth. Igneous rocks are formed by cooled or hardened magma. Sedimentary rocks are formed by natural sediments found on Earth. Metamorphic rocks are formed when rocks are changed by pressure, heat, and moisture.

These three rocks are all different because of their form, texture, and where they are located on Earth. Igneous rocks are formed formed by cooling and hardening of hot, molten rock, or magma, from inside Earth. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compaction and cementing of layers of sediments. Metamorphic rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks.

These rocks are all different. They form in different places, have different textures and they form in different places. Igneous rocks form by the cooling and hardening of molten rock or magma. Sedimentary rocks form through the compacting and cementing of layers of sediment. Metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure of rocks.

Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are all different. They are formed differently, their textures are different, and where they are located is different. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and hardening of hot magma from inside the Earth. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compaction and cementing of layers of sediments. Metamorphic rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks. 11/13/2015 09:20:41 pm

sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks are all very different. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compaction and cementing of layers of sediments, while igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and hardening of magma. Finally metamorphic rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks.

Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are all formed differently. An igneous rock is formed by cooled and hardened magma. Sedimentary rock is formed by the compaction and cementing of layers that are in the dirt and sediments. And metamorphic rock is formed when heat and pressure are applied to the rock.

The differences between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic is that a igneous rock is formed by the cooling and hardening; crystallization of magma, and is one of the three types or rocks in the rock cycle, and is formed from volcanic ash. A sedimentary rock is formed by the compaction and cementing of layers of sediments and is one of the three types of rock in the rock cycle. A metamorphic rock has undergone chemical or structural change due to the effects of heat and pressure, and is one of three types of rock in the rock cycle. A metamorphic is formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks.

Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are all different because of the way they were formed, their textures, and the location they are found. Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of magma. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the decomposition, compaction, and cementation of sediments. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the heat and pressure of other rocks, metamorphism.

The difference between the three type of rocks is the way they are formed, where they are formed, texture and the color. Igneous rock is formed when magama cools and hardens. Sedimentary rock forms by compaction and cementing of the earths layerys. Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure applied on the rock.

Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are classified as different rocks because of the way each one of them is formed. For example, igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and hardening of magma. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compaction and cementing of layers of sedimentary. These sediments are materials such as rock fragments, plant and animal remains, and minerals that settle out of solution onto lake and ocean bottoms. Metamorphic rocks are formed by the effect of heat or pressure on other rocks. The way they are formed also affects the way these rocks look. For example, in sedimentary rocks stratification is a common characteristic that igneous and metamorphic rocks do not have.

The 3 Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are different because they are formed differently. The igneous rock is formed by cooling and hardening of magma from the Earths insides. Sedimentary rocks are composed of compaction and cementing of the layers from sediments. Metamorphic rocks are formed by the heat and pressure from other rocks.

These rocks are different in texture, how they form, and where they can be found on Earth. Igneous rocks are formed when the hot magma cools and hardens. Its texture can sometimes be glassy like. Sedimentary rocks form by the compaction and cementing of layers of sediments from other rocks. Metamorphic rocks form by the effect of heat and pressure on the other rocks.

The difference between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks is that an igneous rock is formed when molten lava or magma cools and hardens. Sedimentary rock forms when particles settle out of water or wind into deposits that are covered and pressed into rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed by heat or pressure on the other rocks.
