Do heat and pressure have any effects on rocks?

Depending on the rock type, some may explode from excessive heat and pressure. Others may simply melt, if the temperature is hot enough, like that of magma.


What are the sources of heat that helps metemorphic rocks form?

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.


Which rock form heat and pressure?

How does metamorphic rocks change into sedimentary rocks?

by heat & pressure


Igneous and sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat They will most likely form?

If igneous rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to recrystallize into new igneous rocks. On the other hand, if sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to metamorphose into metamorphic rocks.


How does the weight of the earths crust help to form metamorpic rocks?

Weight causes density, density causes pressure, pressure causes heat. Heat and pressure change rocks into other rocks, which are metamophic.
