What condition change igneous sedimentary to metamorphic rock?
Excess pressure, extreme stress, and high temperature
How are sedimentary metamorphic and igneous formed?
metamorphic - formed when igneous or sedimentary rocks are put under extreme heat and/or pressure. igneous - volcanic rock (comes from a volcano) sedimentary - particles of rock/sand/shells/clay etc. 'gathered' to make a rock.
What condition change igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rock?
Extreme heat and pressure, like that of coal turning to diamonds. Metamorphic rocks, in turn, are then broken down or turned into molten rock, so new sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks can form.
Which forms when exposed to extreme temperatures pressure?
The type of rock formed when exposed to extreme temperatures and pressure is metamorphic rock.
Do Igneous rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
Normally when sedimentary rocks are squashed and heated they do indeed change, they become metamorphic rocks. e.g. mud will be turned into slate - limestone into marble etc.As the metamorphic temperature and pressure increase still further, most sedimentary rocks end up as Granulites or Banded Gneisses which look very much like igneous rocks (Granites).In the extreme, sedimentary rocks can melt, and these melts will form new magmas which will eventually harden to form new igneous rocks.
What rock is igneous or sedimentary rock that has been changed by extreme pressure or heat?
Igneous or sedimentary rocks that have been transformed by heat or pressure are known as metamorphic rocks.
What condition change igneous sedimentary to metamorphic rock?
Excess pressure, extreme stress, and high temperature
How can an igneous change into a metamorphic then into a sedimentary rock?
yo bro I got u igneous turns into metamorphic because of extreme pressure and temperature and metamorphic turns into sedimentary rock because through weathering and erosion
How are sedimentary metamorphic and igneous formed?
metamorphic - formed when igneous or sedimentary rocks are put under extreme heat and/or pressure. igneous - volcanic rock (comes from a volcano) sedimentary - particles of rock/sand/shells/clay etc. 'gathered' to make a rock.
What can happento a sedimentary rock once it is formed?
Sedimentary rocks can be eroded into sediments and form sedimentary rocks again, they can melt and become igneous rocks, and they can undergo extreme heat and pressure and become metamorphic rocks.
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 :)

Extreme heat and pressure, like that of coal turning to diamonds. Metamorphic rocks, in turn, are then broken down or turned into molten rock, so new sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks can form.
How do metamorphic rocks formed?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks. The change is brought about by either contact with an intrusive plutonic body, or by enormous pressure and heat usually derived from lithospheric plate collisions.
Which forms when exposed to extreme temperatures pressure?
The type of rock formed when exposed to extreme temperatures and pressure is metamorphic rock.
What two forces are needed to create a metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from igneous, sedimentary and older metamorphic rocks that are introduced to extreme temperature and pressure. Because of the extreme temperature and pressure, rocks go through a significant chemical or physical change, turing them into metamorphic rocks.
