How does metamorphic rock get to the surface?
Plate Tectonics
Metamorphic rocks can only be formed from?
Well, metamorphic rocks can be formed from sedimentary rock OR igneous rock OR other metamorphic rock that has been pushed far beneath the crust of the earth.
Basalt is pushed into the crust by subduction It will most likely become?
metamorphic rock
When metamorphic rock changes to magma the magma rises and cools to become?
A metamorphic rock is formed by the elements, minor heat, and compression. When the metamorphic rock is melted by magma, this would indicate that the metamorphic rock is under the surface of the earth. If it rises and cools again you will have an extrusive igneous rock. In a lot of cases, this is metamorphic rock on the surface under the influence of lava. This would change the composition and it would not longer be metamorphic, but rather igneous.
What type of rock forms on earth's surface from pieces of other rock?
Metamorphic in a sentence
An earthquake causes metamorphic rock deep inside a mountain to be pushed up to the mountains surface What type of rock will the metamorphic rock most likely transform into next?
Sedimentary
How can a igneous rock form into a metamorphic rock?
The igneous rock gets pushed deeper and deeper and slowly turns into lava or magma and slowly cools into metamorphic rock.
Where do Most metamorphic rock forms?
heat and pressure beneath Earth's surface can change a rock into metamorphic rock.

metamorphic rock
Where and under what conditions are metamorphic rock formed?
Heat and pressure deep beneath Earth's surface can change any rock into metamorphic rock
Describe how a collision between continental plates can result in the formation of metamorphic rock?
Well if you take into acount that metamorphic rock is formed by applying heat and pressure to sedimentary rock the answer becomes quite clear; the pressure is created by the tectonic plates colliding and the heat source is from the molten rock that is pushed close to the surface due to the collision. :)

What forms beneath earths surface?
The rock that forms on earth's surface is extrusive rock or otherwise known as a metamorphic rock.
What rock group does gneiss belong?
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, meaning it has solidified underground as opposed to solidification on the surface.
When metamorphic rock melts turns into?
Metamorphic rock that melts turns to magma. This only becomes lava if it is erupted to the surface in a volcano.
