Read More2000-3-3 · Even coal can be metamorphosed; bituminous (soft) coal, a sedimentary rock, can be changed into anthracite, or hard coal. Anthracite can be found in the folded belts of rocks in the Appalachian Mountains, where temperatures and pressures of mountain building have caused these changes to occur.
Read More2020-3-2 · Of the three categories of rocks, sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic, sedimentary is the closest type that coal could fit into. Coal was not derived from molten material, so is not igneous by definition. It was not transformed under temperature and pressure from a pre-existing rock into a metamorphic rock.

Read MoreMetamorphic rocks started out as some other type of rock, but have been substantially changed from their original igneous, sedimentary, or earlier metamorphic form. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors. Conditions like these are found deep within the Earth or

Read More2021-6-10 · Sedimentary rocks like bituminous coal, limestone, and sandstone, given enough heat and pressure, can turn into nonfoliated metamorphic rocks like anthracite coal, marble, and quartzite. Nonfoliated rocks can also form by metamorphism, which happens when magma comes in contact with the surrounding rock.
Read More2020-10-29 · Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have changed from one type of rock to another. While sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, and igneous rock is formed from molten magma, metamorphic rock is rock made from pre
Read More2022-1-19 · Types of Metamorphic Rocks. On the basis of the agency involved, these rocks are categorized as: 1. Thermal Metamorphism. When the changes take place due to high temperature, the new rock formed is due to Thermal Metamorphism. The heat may be from hot magma or from the friction of moving rock layers. For example- slate is formed into clay and ...
