What rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks?
the metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and extreme pressure from other rocks
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
How are volcaoes formed?
they are made by rocks and gas pressure and gas
Rocks changed by heat and pressure?
metamorphic rocks
What are the effects of exfoliation of rocks?
when rocks expand with pressure
Which type of rocks are produced by changing other rocks with high temperature and pressure underground?
Metamorphic rocks are produced by changing other rocks with temperature and pressure underground.
How does metamorphic rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
by heat & pressure
What can make Sedimentary Rocks and Igneous Rocks change into Metamorphic Rocks?
heat and pressure.
How does the weight of the earths crust help to form metamorpic rocks?
Weight causes density, density causes pressure, pressure causes heat. Heat and pressure change rocks into other rocks, which are metamophic.
High pressure and high temperature cause rocks to?
High temperature and pressure can cause rocks to change their forms. This is known as metamorphic.High pressure and high temperature can cause rocks to change forms. This is known as metamorphic.
What causes metamorphic rocks to form?
Pressure, Heat, Chemically active fluids (water and CO2 in rocks), Time(obviously), and the parent rock composition.
Changes in pressure which can cause rocks to crack is an example of what?
Changes in pressure which can cause rocks to crack is an example of mechanical weathering. It refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks.
