It expands because the atoms start to move faster from the energy of heat. :) :) :) <3 YOUR WELCOME !!

A coin is placed on a very hot rock how will most of the heat be transferred to the coin?
Molecules in the rock will transfer heat to molecules in the coin through direct contact.
Is rock a good heat conductor?
If I am not wrong, rock is not a heat conductor.
How does Pressure Changed?
Answer The atoms in rocks rearrange to form denser minerals. The combination of heat and pressure may cause the minerals in the rock to separate into layers.Answer Pressure squeezes out any remaining water that may be left in the metamorphic rock and minerals that have water as part of their structure are changed chemically to minerals that do not require water as part of their structure. The metamorphic rock will then have become a higher grade metamorphic rock possibly containing garnet, a non-hydrous mineral.
How is heat transferred through solid rock?
Conduction.
What will most likely happen when the rock and the water receive the same amount of heat energy?
the temperature of the rock will rise faster
What has to increase for metamorphic rock to occur?
You need to increase heat and / or pressure for a metamorphic rock to form.
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.
Does a rock expand or contract with an increase in heat?
expandThe expansion of rocks when they are heated and contraction of rocks when they are cooled weakens them and eventually breaks them into smaller pieces. This is an example of mechanical weathering.
Did anyone find out what heat does to a rock?
When heat is applied to a rock, contact metamorphism occurs, causing the rock to turn into a metamorphic rock.
How the sun's heat breaks down rocks?
Heat: non-uniform thermal expansion. If you heat a rock in one area, thermal expansion causes the volume to expand locally. Since the adjacent rock is not heated, the expanding volume of rock has nowhere to go (no room to expand.) Pressure builds, and the rock eventually fractures
How metamorphic rock be transformed into igneous rock?
contact
The kind of metamorphism that occurs when rock come into contact with a heat source such as magma and the rock surrounding the heat source get cooked?
It is called contact metamorphism. It takes place when the magma at high temperature tries to break out from the magma chamber, it then comes into contact with the country rock at high pressure and temperature.
In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rock 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?

A coin is placed on a very hot rock. How will most of the heat be transferred to the coin?
Molecules in the rock will transfer heat to molecules in the coin through direct contact.
What causes metamorphic rock to change?
An increase in heat or pressure could cause further metamorphism.
What type of rock forms at the boundary of magma and rock?
Contact metamorphic rock forms at such boundaries, as the minerals in the rock change due to the increase in temperature or the influx of heated fluids.
