What are 2 textures of metamorphic rock?
The two textures of metamorphic rocks are the Foliate and Non-foliate textures.
What do different rock textures of metamorphic rock reflect?
The texture would reflect the degree and type of metamorphism which had led to its formation. Rock can experience various stages of metamorphism in its evolution depending mostly on changes in heat or pressure. Texture is also dependent on the composition of the protolith, or parent rock.
This rock forms from other kinds of rock under pressure?
the answer is and Metamorphic
What the 3 kinds of rock?
Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic.
What and what can change a metamorphic rock into a different metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure
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.
How metamorphic rock become metamorphic rock?
It can undergo more metamorphism, creating a different metamorphic rock, or undergo retrograde metamorphism, which also creates a different metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks can undergo these changes due to increases or decreases in temperature and pressure.
What are the characteristics and formation processes of metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are subjected to high heat, pressure, or chemical changes. This causes the minerals in the rock to reorganize and form new crystals, resulting in a new rock with different characteristics. Metamorphic rocks can have foliated or non-foliated textures, depending on the amount of pressure they were subjected to during formation.
Is metamorphic rock sedimentary?
No, metamorphic rock is not sedimentary; those are two different types.
What rock forms by pressure on large masses of rock?
Metamorphic rock forms by the pressure on large masses of rock, causing the existing minerals in the rock to recrystallize without melting, resulting in new minerals and textures. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
Is metamorphic rock made out of 2 other kinds of rocks?
yes
How many kind of rock are there in the world?
There are three kinds of rock in the world: igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.
