The lithosphere is composed of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock.
Yes. In the rock cycle, any sedimentary rock can be transformed into a metamorphic rock due to deep burial where the rock is changed by the earth's high temperature and pressure, an exposure to a plutonic intrusion, where rocks such as granite are formed, or any other process where heat and pressure alter the composition, appearance, and classification of a rock. An igneous rock can turn into a metamorphic rock or a sedimentary rock. A metamorphic rock can turn into an igneous rock or a sedimentary rock, and a sedimentary rock can turn into an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock.
The composition and strength of the cementation material.
Halite is recognized by the IMA as a valid mineral, not a rock. According to the website linked below, "Halite is an evaporative sedimentary rock composed primarily of the mineral halite (sodium chloride)."
Metamorphic Rocks
It is true that the composition of a sedimentary rock depends upon the composition of the rocks and living things its sediments come from. Sedimentary rocks form through lithification.
Composition is more important because it tells what a rock is made of. While the texture of a rock can be the same as many other types.
composition
A "metamorphic" rock.
Sedimentary rock strata is distinguished by its particle size and composition (the minerals present in the rock), as well as the presence of index fossils.
