What rock is formed when sandstone is exposed to heat and pressure?
Igneous rocks-after having the chance to cool down after a melt (metamorphic rocks need pressure as well)
In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
When rocks return to the Earth's mantle they can eventually melt and become magma. and are the main factors that control this change.?
pressure and heat
When rocks return to earth's mantle they can eventually melt and become magma eroison and weathering are the main factors that control this change?
heat and pressure
What is a type of rock formed by pressure on large masses of rock?
Metamorphic rocks are buried deep inside Earth. There is enough heat and pressure to change the rocks, but not enough to melt it into magma. Metamorphic rocks can form adjacent to layers of magma, because of the generated heat, however
Could heat melt rocks?
Yes heat could melt rocks
What does heat do to a rock?
At high temperatures, the minerals in a rock can change to other minerals. And, of course, rock can melt.
How a solid change into a liquid?
Many solids will change into liquids if you heat them, for instance most metals will melt when subjected to heat, ice will become water when heated, some plastics will melt, glass will melt, and most rocks will also melt.

What is a substance that will change from a soild into a liquid?
Water: it will change from ice when melted. Metals and rocks, when exposed to enough heat, will melt into liquids.
What could cause a physical change in a solid piece of sodium metal?
About 100°C heat can cause it to melt(which is a physical change)
Does rocks have to melt in order to change form?
No, if it's with heat like magma or lava, yes, that's what changes it. (:
What type of rock can change into an igneous rock?
Igneous rocks can change into metamorphic rocks from great heat and pressure as all other rocks can, melt into magma, the molten rock, and erode into sediment, which are rock fragments.
