What are rocks made when other rocks are subject to intense pressure and heat?
Metamorphic rocks may be formed.
How is metamorphic rock is made from sediment?
Metamorphic rocks are formed by rocks sedimentary or igneous that change their form under intense heat and or pressure.
What are metamorphic rocks created by?
Metamorphic rocks are created by the transformation of existing rocks through heat, pressure, or chemical processes without melting. This process usually occurs deep within the Earth's crust or mantle.
What is one way igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are different?
igneous rocks are made of lava that cools and hardens and metamorphic rocks are madeby heat and pressure.
What metamorphic rocks formed fom?
Metamorphic rocks are made by the action of heat and pressure on pre-existing rocks. e.g. Schist, Coesite, most micas.
How is metamorphic rocks organically made?
rocks pile on other rocks pushing them downward, as they reach about one eighth of the way towards the mantle the pressure and heat make metamorphic rocks
What is a metamorphic rock made of shale?
A metaphorphic rock is a rock that undergoes changes to become a different type of rock. The rock changes due to extreme pressure wich makes them heat up, and change types.... i hope this helps :)
Is gneiss metamorphic?
A gneiss is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are created by the alteration of rocks by heat and pressure. Therefore, a gneiss may be created from an igneous rock in which case it would be called an orthogneiss.
Rocks made when other rocks are subjected to intense pressure and heat?
Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes the minerals in the original rocks to recrystallize into new forms, resulting in metamorphic rocks like marble, slate, and gneiss.
What rocks are made when other rocks are subjected to intense pressure and heat?
Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks, either sedimentary or igneous, are subjected to intense pressure and heat deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes the rocks to undergo physical and chemical changes, resulting in the formation of new minerals and textures characteristic of metamorphic rocks.
What are rocks made when other rocks are subjected to intense pressure and heat?
Rocks are formed when other rocks are subjected to intense pressure and heat through the process of metamorphism. This process can cause the original minerals and textures of the rock to change, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks such as marble, schist, and gneiss.
From what is metamorphic rock made?
Metamorphic rocks are made from the action of heat, stress, and pressure on pre-existing rocks, of either an igneous, or a sedimentary origin. Also, sometimes a metamorphic rock can be resculpted to form another metamorphic rock.
