Can metamorphic rock form out of other metamorphic rock?
No.
What are the steps needed to form metamorphic rock from magma?
Metamorphic rock is not formed directly from magma. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma and lava.
Can metamorphic rocks from from other metamorphic rocks?
Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.
What happen to a metamorphic rock in the rock cycle?
it form
What changes a sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
All of them, as long as they are in the right conditions.
Is a diamond metamorphic rock?
Diamond is a mineral that can only form under certain conditions of heat and pressure. Although it will appear in metamorphic rock, it is not itself a metamorphic rock, but a mineral.
What conditions are necssary in order for metamorphic rock to form?
high heat and pressure
Can metamorphic rock form out of other metamorphic rock?
No.
Who is correct a metamorphic rock is formed from a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock can form from an igneous rock?
both are correct metamorphic rock can form from both.
What process is needed to change sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
An increase in pressure and / or temperature would be needed to convert a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock.
What conditions are required to form parallel alignment of minerals sometimes found in a metamorphic rock?
Heat is one condition that is required to form parallel alignment of minerals sometimes found in a metamorphic rock. The other condition is pressure.
What are the steps needed to form metamorphic rock from magma?
Metamorphic rock is not formed directly from magma. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma and lava.
Can metamorphic rocks from from other metamorphic rocks?
Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.
Can heat form an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?
metamorphic because it melts the rock and forms another
Which process can cause metamorphic rock to change into igneous rock?
Melting of the bulk of the metamorphic rock, then solidification from cooling, will form an igneous rock.
What is needed for any kind of rock to become metamorphic?
Heat, for sure, and most often a combination of heat and pressure is needed for metamorphic rock creation.
What type of rock is most likely to form in an earthquake zone?
A metamorphic rock is most likely to form in an earthquake zone.
