How do sedimentary rocks go from the sea bed to be turned into metamorphic?
sedimentary rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks by the use of pressure and/or heat
How are metamorphic rocks igneous rock and sedimentary rocks different?
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
What causes sedimentary and igneous rocks to change?
Sedimentary rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure, while igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks through the same process. Both types of rocks can also be weathered and eroded, leading to the formation of new sedimentary rocks.
Sandstone and basalt can be changed by heat pressure to form?
Sedimentary rocks
Explain how a metamorphic rock can be changed into a sedimentary rock?
It's the other way around: How does a sedimentary rocks turn into a metamorphic rocks? The answers is: "By heat and pressure". Metamorphic rocks never turn into sedimentary rocks.
What two things make possible sedimentary and metamorphic rocks to form deep underground?
High pressure and high temperature deep underground make it possible for sedimentary rocks to undergo metamorphism, which leads to the formation of metamorphic rocks. These conditions cause the existing minerals in sedimentary rocks to recrystallize and form new minerals, changing the rock's texture and composition.
What causes fracturing of sedimentary rocks?
Any force applied on it, erosion, pressure and heat from underground.
What rocks are changed by high tempatures and high pressure?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can be changed by high temperatures and pressure, and the resultant rock is called metamorphic, because its form has been changed.
How did metamorphic rocks get to be on the earth today?
Metamorphic rocks are older sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic changed by pressure and temperature.
What are two ways sedimentary and igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks?
Increase the pressure and temperature by burying them; or heat them with an igneous intrusion.
What is formed when igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks are changed due to heat and pressure?
When igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks are changed due to heat and pressure, they can form metamorphic rocks. This process is known as metamorphism, and it often results in the rocks being altered in texture and mineral composition. Metamorphic rocks can include marble, schist, and gneiss.
What rock is igneous or sedimentary rock that has been changed by extreme pressure or heat?
The rock that has been changed by extreme pressure or heat is called metamorphic rock. It can form from igneous, sedimentary, or existing metamorphic rocks that undergo changes in temperature and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and gneiss.
