What are two processes to cause metamorphism?
what are the physical conditions that causes metamorphism?
What causes metamorphic rock to change?
An increase in heat or pressure could cause further metamorphism.
What type of metamorphism cause meteorite?
None.
What limits the maximum temperatures possible in metamorphism?
The maximum temperature that creates metamorphism is the temperature just below that which causes a rock to melt. Once a rock melts, then solidifies, it is considered an igneous rock.
What is the primary cause of change in regional metamorphism?
dirt
What is responsible for the increase in temperature during contact metamorphism?
mr.mosser
What 2 things must increase for metamorphism to occur?
For metamorphism of rock to occur temperature and pressure must increase. Rocks created in this manner are called metamorphic rocks.
What are two processes to cause metamorphism?
what are the physical conditions that causes metamorphism?
What two conditions cause intense metamorphism?
High temperature and high pressure.
How would a sedimentary rock change to a metamorphic rock?
Through metamorphism, as a result of increase in pressure and/or temperature.
Why are metamorphic rocksformed by contact metamorphism usually not as dense as those formed by regional metamorphism?
Because contact metamorphism usually occurs because of an increase in temperature. In contrary, regional metamorphism is usually the result of compression. Compression makes a rock more dense.
How does temperature affect the volume of substance?
An increase in temperature will cause an increase in volume, while a decrease in temperature will cause a decrease in volume.
Does Mothball cause temperature to increase?
No.
What causes metamorphic rock to change?
An increase in heat or pressure could cause further metamorphism.
What does a temperature increase cause the rate of a reaction to increase?
As temperature increase the speed and energy of molecules increase and the collisions are more probable.
What a does a temperature increase cause the rate of a reaction to increase?
As temperature increase the speed and energy of molecules increase and the collisions are more probable.
What does schist begin as?
As you increase the temperature and pressure of Shale it metamorphism occurs. It changes in this order: Shale > Slate > Phyllite > Schist > Gneiss > Migmatite
