What are the source of the heat that helps metamorphic rock to form?

The origin of the heat that creates metamorphic rock can be from friction caused by colliding plates, but by far the vast majority of the heat has originated in Earth's interior, caused by radioactive decay, remnant heat from Earth's formation, and pressure. And butt trolol

Usually geothermal energy.
Sometimes the heat from volcanic lava.

∙ 12y agoThe main source of interior heat in the Earth is radioactive decay.
Some think the major current source is potassium, but in the past it was the trans-urantic elements - esp those with "short" half-lives.

∙ 11y agoactually there is only one source of heat and tht is te magma in the volcano and pressure also helps for the rock as well so what forms it is heat and pressure

What is the source of heat that helps metamorphic rocks form?
Deep under the earth's crust, the rock is liquid. It is very hot. That helps sedimentary rock turn to metamorphic rock.
What are the sources of heat the helps the metamorphic rock to form?
Usually geothermal energy. Sometimes the heat from volcanic lava.
Which rock form heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure.
Which type of rock forms when exteme heat and pressure is applied?
Heat and pressure causes Metamorphic Rocks to form.
What form from heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rock
Which process can cause metamorphic rock to change into igneous rock?
Melting of the bulk of the metamorphic rock, then solidification from cooling, will form an igneous rock.
What has to increase for metamorphic rocks to form?
Heat and pressure.
What has to increase for metamorphic rock to occur?
You need to increase heat and / or pressure for a metamorphic rock to form.
What rocks form under heat and pressure?
Metamorphic Rock
Do heat and pressure form metamorphic rocks?
yes it does :p
Rocks that are changed by heat and pressure will form?
Metamorphic Rock
How can sedimentary rock form into a metamorphic rock?
heat and presure
