Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks can form at high temperatures and pressures What is the difference between these two rock types?
it is an metamorphic rock, because of the pressure it gets hot and it is formed underground.
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
When old rocks are partially melted or squeezed what rocks are formed?
Metamorphic rocks
Are Sedimentary rocks are formed heat and pressure?
No, those are metamorphic rocks.
How does metamorphic rock formation compare to igneous rock formation?
Igneous rocks are formed in and around volcanos, metamorphic rocks are formed by the partial melting of rocks deep underground.
Are metamorphic rocks naturally formed?
Metamorphic rocks are naturally formed. they are formed from natural changes that happen to other rocks.
Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks can form at high temperatures and pressures What is the difference between these two rock types?
it is an metamorphic rock, because of the pressure it gets hot and it is formed underground.
How is magnetite created?
Magnetite is created through sedimentary rocks. They are also formed by metamorphic rocks. Magnetite is found in underground mining regions.
Where is one place to find metamorphic rocks that are formed quickly?
deep underground at the base of mountains. Hope this was helpful.
Are metamorphic rocks only formed by igneous rocks?
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
What rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks?
the metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and extreme pressure from other rocks
Can metamorphic rocks be formed from changes in igneous sedimentary or other metamorphic rocks?
yes
What kind of rock does a metamorphic rock start as?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks.
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
What rock Can only form underground?
What type of rock is formed from magma that hardens underground?
What is the type of Igneous rock that forms underground?
Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary rocks
