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 the geographic reason for the formation of shivalik range?

The Shivalik Range was formed due to the collision of the Indian tectonic plate and the Eurasian plate, causing the uplifting and folding of the earth's crust. This collision resulted in the compression and buckling of sedimentary rocks, leading to the formation of the Shivalik hills.


One reason Tetragraptus is considered a good index fossil is that Tetragraptus?

evolved rapidly, had a wide geographic distribution, and had a relatively short geological range, making it useful for correlating sedimentary rocks in different locations.


Is ammonium endo or exothermic?

endothermic but don't know why? As AN crystals are formed the reaction is exothermic. Endothermic when it melts back with water. This is the reason AN is used in cold packs.


Why is Jupiter the first planet ever made.?

It's highly unlikely that Jupiter was the first planet. There's no evidence that Jupiter formed any earlier than other planets in our solar system, and no reason at all to believe that planets in other older solar systems might not have formed long ago.

How are sedimentary rocks mader?

There are different ways sedimentary rocks are formed. Many sedimentary rocks are made from the broken pieces and particles of other rocks, [which is a reason why the name was given to these types of rocks (sediment)] and these bits get cemented together. These types of sedimentary rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks are another type that comprise of mineral crystals, like gypsum and halite. Lastly, organic sedimentary rocks are made of, well...... organic materials. They are made of the remains of once living organisms and contain the remains of living creatures such as clam shells, plankton skeletons, dinosaur bones, and plants.


Why aren't igneous rocks a good place to look for fossils?

You rarely find fossils in igneous rock for one reason. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Most living material is destroyed by the heat leaving no recognizable fossil.
