Can sedimentary rocks be formed at the bottom of lakes?
Yes they can. Their facies is called "lacustrine".
What process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Subduction and high pressure.
what is the where it raines and rock gets smoother called?
sedimentary facies
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Are sedimentary rocks classified tofoliated sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are classified by foliation or lack there of, not sedimentary rocks. They are classified into Clastic Sedimentary, and Chemical Sedimentary.
What is the difference between facies in sedimentary rocks and facies in metamorphic rocks?
Most regional metamorphic rocks are formed in conditions within this range of geothermal gradients, passing through the greenschist facies to the amphibolites
Can sedimentary rocks be formed at the bottom of lakes?
Yes they can. Their facies is called "lacustrine".

What process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Subduction and high pressure.
what is the where it raines and rock gets smoother called?
sedimentary facies
What causes sedimentary rocks to change into hard rock?
weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction/cementation and lithification changes sediments to sedimentary rocks. High pressure and temperatures changes them to metamophic rocks
Why do mineralogists call this a rock cycle?
A cycle mean something which continue changing. In a rock cycle, the three types of rocks - Igneous rocks changes to Sedimentary rocks wich changes to Metamorphic rocks. These metamorphic rocks can cange into sedimentary rocks by suitable conditions
Can metamorphic rocks be formed from changes in igneous sedimentary or other metamorphic rocks?
yes
What rocks changes its form from once igneous or sedimentary?
metamorphic
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
True or false sedimentary rock can be formed from changes in igneous rock but idneous rock cannot be formed changes in the sedimentary rock?
False Sedimetary rocks can be formed from changes in igneous rock, and igneous rock can be from changes in sedimentary rock.
Are sedimentary rocks classified tofoliated sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are classified by foliation or lack there of, not sedimentary rocks. They are classified into Clastic Sedimentary, and Chemical Sedimentary.
