By what process do rocks become sediment?
Loose sediments can become a sedimentary rock through the process of lithification. These sediments are compacted due to intense pressure and then undergo cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
What causes sedimentary rocks to become metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rock can become metamorphic rock under intense heat and pressure. The heat and pressure do not change the rock's chemical composition, but do change its physical properties like hardness, texture, and structure.
When igneous rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure they become what type o rock?
A sedimentary rock is formed when an igneous rock is subjected to weathering, erosion, compaction, and cementation!
How can sedimentary rock become metamorphic?
Heating and pressure
What rock changed by heat pressure and fluids?
Sedimentary rocks when altered by heat and pressure because metamorphic rock. But please read the rock cycle you will see the different stages because Igneous can also become Metamorphic with intense pressure and heat.
What is required to change an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?
Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.
What processes must a sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock?
what processes must sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock
What process must a sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock?
what processes must sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock
Can metamorphic rock become sedimentary rock?
by heat and very great pressure
What can happento a sedimentary rock once it is formed?
Sedimentary rocks can be eroded into sediments and form sedimentary rocks again, they can melt and become igneous rocks, and they can undergo extreme heat and pressure and become metamorphic rocks.
How can igneos rocks become sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation.
How a sedimentary rock or igneous rock become a metamorphic rock?
when sedimentary rocks get exposed to great heat and pressure, they become more consolidated (harder to weather). when igneous rock combines with sediments and the two are heated under pressure, they become one rock, a metamorphic rock
