What are three agents of metamorphism?
There are three agents of metamorphism in the changing of metamorphic rocks. They are heat, pressure, and hydro thermal solutions.
What process must rocks go through to become metamorphic rocks?
compaction
What is 2 types of metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are formed by the process of extreme heat, pressure and other chemicals. Two types of metamorphism are dynamic which makes the pressure and extreme heat and thermal which is caused by the heat of magma from a volcanic eruption.
How does metamorphism rocks form?
metamorphic rocks are formed from sandstone
What are the types of rock metamorphism?
Types of metamorphism are Contact Metamorphism Regional Metamorphism Cataclastic Metamorphism Hydrothermal Metamorphism Burial Metamorphism Shock Metamorphism (Impact Metamorphism)
What is the most important agent(s) of metamorphism?
Metamorphism is the change in the structure or composition of rocks. The most important agents of metamorphism are heat and pressure.
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.
The main agents that cause metamorphic rocks to form are...?
heat and pressure
How metamorphic rock become metamorphic rock?
It can undergo more metamorphism, creating a different metamorphic rock, or undergo retrograde metamorphism, which also creates a different metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks can undergo these changes due to increases or decreases in temperature and pressure.
Which types of rocks are not metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary and Igneous rocks are not metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks however are igneous or sedimentary rocks that have undertaken metamorphism (In extreme heat and/or pressure the minerals are forced to recrystalize) and become metamorphic rocks. If the heat/pressure causes the rock to melt into liquid rock than it is no longer metamorphi, it is igneous. Hope this helps :)
What 2 things are metamorphic rocks formed from?
Heat and pressure are the most common cause of metamorphism of rock.
What can metamorphism do?
metamorphism is when a Igneous and sedimentary rocks turn into metamorphic rock.
