I believe the answer is pressure, or else stress. The change is known as metamorphism when heat is involved (which it almost certainly is).

Those would be the forces of gravity and self weight as well as in-situ stresses which may cause compression, tension or shear.

What is the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume?
the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume is stress.
The form of a compound that changes both its shape and volume is called a?
gas!
What is the process that changes the shape of rocks?
Weathering is the process that results in the reduction of size and corresponding shape of a body of rock.
What is a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called?
A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called stress. Tension is the stress that sketched rock so that is becomes thinner in the middle.
What is the force that acts on rock to change its shape?
I believe pressure is the answer you are looking for here. Other forces that change the shape of rocks include weathering and erosion.
A force that changes a rocks shape or volume is called?
Pressure / stress.
What changes rocks shape or volume?
Stress
A force that changes rocks shape?
all of the forces
What is a force that changes a rock shape and volume?
pressure
What is a deformational force?
The force which changes the dimension of the object such as length, volume or which changes the shape is known as deforming force
What is the force that changes the shape and volume of rocks is called?
Erosion shapes the rock as wind, sand, water, and other forces of nature wear down the rock.
What changes shape but doesn't change volume?
A gas can change shape but it doesn't change volume, a liquid also changes shape but doesn't change volume.
Does a gas changes to a shape and volume?
SHAPE
What happens when a liquid becomes a gas (apex)?
It changes shape and volume.
What is the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume?
the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume is stress.
What changes shape and volume?
gas
Changes shape but doesnt change volume?
the answer is liquid... as my science teacher says.
