How can an igneous or metamorphic rock change into a sedimentary rock?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A sedimentary rock can change from that to a metamorphic rock then into an Igneous rock. e.g. Mudstone (sedimentary) is in the Zone of Diagenesis, when it is subjected to regional metamorphism (in mountain belts) it changes from a mudstone to a slate (low grade) then to a Phillite (medium grade) then a Schist (medium) then a gneiss (high grade) then into a Milonite (high grade) then once past the line of partial melting it has so much pressure and so much temperature that it turns into an Igneos rock. This is the basic explanation of this. If you want to know more, just ask me.
Sedimentary rocks are changed into metamorphic by being buried deep enough that the heat and pressure alter their text, mineralogy, or other characteristics.

What happens to a frozen rock?

Asked by Wiki User

Rocks cannot freeze.There molecular structure doesnt have an adaption to weather.

AnswerTechnically, rocks cannot freeze. There molecular structure doesn't adapt to weather, except by expansion and contraction. However, moisture inside the molecules of rocks can freeze. This causes even greater expansion and contraction within the rocks' structure, which can result in the rock cracking and even breaking apart, eventually. The scientific term for this effect is known as "weathering", and is highly common among rocky structures in cold and even temperate climates.

Are there any myths or legends about sapphire?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some myths are that a Pharaoh ate one.

According to Greek myth amethyst was capable of protecting one from drunkenness and hangovers. The name itself literally means "not drunk." The prefix "a" in Greek means no and the verb "methustos" means "To Drink."

It is not uncommon then to see various drinking vessels from antiquity either carved from whole amethyst or seeing gold and silver goblets studded with amethyst in order to take advantage of its supposed benefits.

It is ironic then that a stone meant to shield one from the deleterious effects of alcohol is used by the organization Alcoholics Anonymous as a symbol of sobriety and a reminder to abstain from alcohol.
