wel

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

As the sedimentary and igneous and metamorphic rocks are distinct from each other as they appear on the landscape but show similar internal properties and thus allowing us to recognize them from a distance.

Sedimentary Rocks range from shake sandstone to limestone and conglomerate. While Metamorphic i.e foliated being Slate, Phyllite, Schist, and Gneiss, etc. While the Nonfoliated Metamorphic rocks are Quartzite and Marble.

Rocks revolve in there set rock cycle forming distinctive and newer rocks over the geologic time scale of earth. As each rock type is altered with force to produce the fro example a basalt rock when subducted and could be merged with the mantel to form in the water cycle.

As these are called secondary changes in the evolutionary phases of rocks which then can transition into metamorphic rocks through the process of mountain building in the orographic belts.

As a result, other rocks are recrystallized to form a sedimentary rock in its next phase which is unstable and subject to weathering. Transitions deeply impact the chemical and physical properties of rocks.
