Do heat and pressure inside the earth form metamorphic rock?
yes, yes it does
What are the conditions needed for a metamorphic rock to form?
they are normally formed inside or very near volcanoes. To form igneous rock magma must cool the it will turn into and igneous rock (intrusive or extrusive)
How do deposits of minerals form deep inside the earths crust?
by heat and pressure
Why do metamorphic rocks often form deep under the surface of the earth?
Metamorphic rocks are often found deep under the earth's surface because metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure. Therefore, they form while they are under the earth's surface.
Is geothermal energy sun?
No. Geothermal energy uses heat from inside the Earth, which is a combination of heat left over form Earth's formation and heat from the decay of radioactive isotopes within the Earth.
Is a dimond a nonrenewable resource?
Diamond is formed when carbon is placed under high pressure and heat. The pressure and heat necessary for its formation is not found on the surface of the earth, but rather deep inside it. This fact, plus the sheer amount of time necessary for it to form, makes it a nonrenewable resource.
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
Which rock form heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure.
Where might a metaphoric rock form?
Metamorphic rocks form when existing rocks are exposed to heat and pressure deep within the Earth's surface
What state of matter is not present at the temperatures and pressures naturally found on Earth?
Plasmas require immense heat and pressure to form.
Where can you get heat and pressure to turn Igneous Rock into Metamorphic?
There are many ways to change and form it but the most common way the rock get the pressure and heat it needs to change and form is when the rock is beneath the Earth's surface (near the mantle where it's hot) and receive the pressure from all the rock layers above it.
Name three things that can cause rock to melt and form magma?
The main cause for a rock to melt and form magma is constant pressure and heat in the mantel
