Igneous and sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat They will most likely form?
Metamorphic rocks.
Can a sedimentary rock be a igneous rock when exposed to heat and pressure?
Usually it is metamorphic rocks that are formed by heat and pressure, but sedimentary rocks can too. Usually, the word 'sedimentary' means 'of sediments' which means that it is composed of lots of layers upon layers compacting down. In that case, pressure is essential, but heat isn't always needed.
What type of sedimentary rock is made from compacted mud?
mudstone and shale. These can become the metamorphic rock slate if exposed to high pressure and temperature.
How can igneous rock change?
An igneous rock, just like any other rock, can be changed through metamorphic, igneous, and/or sedimentary processes. When exposed to high temp. and pressure, igneous becomes metamorphic. When re-melted, it becomes igneous again. When weathered/eroded, it becomes sedimentary.
What are the 5 major processes involved in forming sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rock formation begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface they begin the long slow but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock.
What will happen if a sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure?
It would undergo metamorphism, if the heat and pressure are sufficient.
How would Sedimentary rock turn to metamorphic?
Sedimentary rock that is exposed to heat and pressure will be changed to (metamophised) into metamorphic rock. This is often associated with volcanic activity. An example is limestone, when exposed to the pressure and heat can be changed to marble.
When sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure's what does it change into?
Metamorphic rock
What rock is an old rock that has been exposed to heat and pressure and has no visible layers?
sedimentary rock
Igneous and sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat They will most likely form?
Metamorphic rocks.
What is causing the breakdown of sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks, when exposed on the surface, is exposed to weathering.
How can metamorphic and igneous rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
By them being boroken down (sediment) then exposed to great pressure.

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
