Can minerals in a rock change the way they look?
Yes, because minerals have a certain texture, color and streak color. Minerals also have some luster in them. Therefore, they could change anything about the rock.
Are chemical sedimentary rocks made of the same minerals?
No. Chemical weathering results in a change of the chemistry of the rock and the minerals therein.
What is the type of weathering that involes a chemical change in some of the minerals in a rock?
Chemical weathering
What changes occur in shale during regional metamorphism?
The change is in the alignment of the clay minerals and parallel alignment of micaceous minerals, from the stress of compressional forces. The water content of the shale is reduced, increasing the rock's specific gravity, and the alignment of the minerals results in a slaty cleavage.
What kind of mineral is a rock?
Rocks are made up of minerals, so a certain type of rock will have several different types of minerals in it. Minerals are what rocks are made up of! It depends on what kind of rock you're wondering about to know which minerals its made up of.
Why does the color of sedimentary rock change during metamorphism?
The color of sedimentary rock changes during metamorphism due to minerals. New minerals introduced can change the color of the rock.

How do the mountains rocks change colors o the minerals?
When you look at a rock and see different colors, those colors are minerals .The pressure and heat causes the minerals in the rock to change into different minerals which cause the different colors in the rocks.
Minerals in rock near a volcano recrystallize as lava covers the area--the minerals change due to the lava's?
The minerals in the country rock might change due to the effects of the heat in a process known as contact metamorphism.
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 does weathering change a rock?
particles of its minerals are carried away
Do the rocks cycle has no effect on the minerals inside the rock?
sometimes it does. in my science book it says the minerals MAY change.
What is the difference between disintegration and decomposition of rock?
Disintegration is fragmentation of rock and there is no chemical change during or after this process. Decomposition is resulting in the destruction of some or all of the unstable minerals and thus chemical change occur and new minerals are formed.
Are chemical sedimentary rocks made of the same minerals?
No. Chemical weathering results in a change of the chemistry of the rock and the minerals therein.
What is rock broken down but the minerals that make up the rock do not change?
I do not understand what your question is.
What is the type of weathering that involes a chemical change in some of the minerals in a rock?
Chemical weathering
