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.
Metamorphic rock can be formed from sedimentary rocks by the activity of?
== == Contact with magma bodies, depth of burial, or pressure from colliding plates.
Which type of rock forms when exteme heat and pressure is applied?
Heat and pressure causes Metamorphic Rocks to form.
What kind of rock is formed with heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks, like slate or quartizite, or even diamonds.
Rock formed by heat and pressure?
Metamorphic Rock
Metamorphic rocks can be formed from sedimentary rocks by the activity of?
heat and pressure
Which type of rocks are produced from other type of rocks under high temperature and pressure?
Metamorphic rock can result from the exposure of existing igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock to high temperatures, high pressure, or a combination of both.

What is needed for any kind of rock to become metamorphic?
Heat, for sure, and most often a combination of heat and pressure is needed for metamorphic rock creation.
How does pressure help make metamorphic rocks?
pressure helps the metamorphic with the high temprature or pressure
What Sedimentary rocks is converted into metamorphic rock with the addition of?
Sedimentary rock is converted into metamorphic rock with exposure to heat, pressure, heated mineral solutions, or a combination of any of them.
What is rock that is changed by heat pressure or chemical change?
Metamorphic rocks have been changed by heat or pressure. This can be a change in size, shape, or arrangement of minerals.
Which type of rock forms when exteme heat and pressure is applied?
Heat and pressure causes Metamorphic Rocks to form.
How do heat and pressure change sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
What two things can cause a rock to become metamorphic rock?
A. Pressure and heat. Both found in the mantle of the Earth.
How can a rock be transformed into a metamorphic rock?
Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.
