What can make Sedimentary Rocks and Igneous Rocks change into Metamorphic Rocks?
heat and pressure.
How is metamorphic rocks organically made?
rocks pile on other rocks pushing them downward, as they reach about one eighth of the way towards the mantle the pressure and heat make metamorphic rocks
What 2 things are applied to igneous or sedimentary rocks that make metamorphic rocks form?
Heat and pressure!!
What was gneiss before it undertook heat and pressure?
A mixture of sand and clay, mudstone, metamorphose (process of changing from one type of rock into a metamorphic rock) into gneiss rocks or schist rocks. The mudstones would change under heat and pressure to make the new Metamorphic rocks.
What two things make possible sedimentary and metamorphic rocks to form deep underground?
Heat and/or pressure.
Why is it said that the rock cycle has neither a beginning nor an end?
When the rocks heat and cools with the correct pressure to make igneous rocks to metamorphic rock and metamorphic rock to sedimentary rock
Why it is said that the rock cycle has neither beginning nor an end?
When the rocks heat and cools with the correct pressure to make igneous rocks to metamorphic rock and metamorphic rock to sedimentary rock
Why is it said that rock cycle has neither a beginning nor an end?
When the rocks heat and cools with the correct pressure to make igneous rocks to metamorphic rock and metamorphic rock to sedimentary rock
What type of rock do heat and pressure make?
Metamorphic rocks are created when existing solid rocks are exposed to high temperatures and pressures.
What is a short description of metamorphic rocks?
Brick is baked mud, and as such, can be considered to be sedimentary.
What do Metamorphic and Sedimentary rocks have in common?
It is more likely that igneous and metamorphic, or igneous and sedimentary rocks would have something in common than sedimentary and metamorphic. The reason is because the processes involved in making metamorphic rocks is completely different than the processes needed to make sedimentary rocks. Only high temperature, high pressure minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, amphibole can withstand these kinds of conditions. Take quartz and feldspar, two of the most abundant minerals found in sedimentary rocks, these minerals would not be found in abundance in metamorphic rocks because they are not high temperature, high pressure rocks. But the most simple answer is that all the major groups of rocks are made of minerals. Metamorphic has high pressure and Igneous does to and both made from a particle called magma.
How do you make make sentence using the word metamorphic?
Metamorphic rocks are a type of rock along with igneous and sedimentary rocks.
