What rocks are formed from high temperature and pressures?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can be changed by high temperatures and pressure, and the resultant rock is called metamorphic, because its form has been changed.
What happens to rocks that are pushed under earth's surface and become hotter and experience more pressure?
They become exposed to deformation in a process called metamorphism, and become metamorphic rocks.
Why do tornadoes have such a high wind speed?
The rotation of a tornado originates from a larger but less intense circulation called a mesocyclone, which creates an area of low pressure. A tornado forms when the mesocyclone tightens and stretches toward the ground. This causes the winds and the low pressure to intensify.
What is The intense heat from earth's interior is called?
It is called geothermal energy.
What is an intense thunderstorm that can spawn tornadoes called?
A supercell.
