ALL rocks are the same age unless they are volcanic ones or meteor based.

And the sedimentary rocks. And the metamorphic rocks. All those have different ages, too.

That is not true. For example, the Grand Canyon has 40 different sedimentary layers dating from 200 million to 2 billion years old.

"ALL rocks are the same age unless they are volcanic ones or meteor based."

Your blatant ignorance disqualifies you from any meaningful participation in this discussion.

Uh, Ann:

All rocks ARE either formed from magma (which doesn’t need to erupt to the surface in the form of a volcano), or made out of material “recycled” from rocks made from magma.

IGNEOUS: Volcanic and other magma rocks.

SEDIMENTARY: (Mostly)* Igneous rock sediment which has been compacted into rock again.

METAMORPHIC: Sedimentary or Igneous rock which has been subjected to such great heat and pressure as to chemically alter the constituent minerals.

* Certain non-rock sediments may be converted into sedimentary rocks, including peat, which becomes coal.
