Can metamorphic rocks melt to form sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary is formed by compression. Metamorphic is created by heat and pressure. Sedimentary can be melted to create metamorphic.
What role is played by energy in its various forms to create magmatic and metamorphic rocks?
What role is played by energy in its various forms to create magmatic and metamorphic rocks?
What forces create 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.
What are two things that create metamorphic rocks?
heat and pressure.
How do igneous rock become metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks become igneous rocks by melting from heat and pressure, remnants of which may cool from melt (magma) and become components of igneous rock.
What is the components of the rock?
There are three types of rocks, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. They are basically composed of minerals, water and dissolved gases.
Are metamorphic rocks only formed by igneous rocks?
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
How are metamorphic rocks like cookies?
Metamorphic rocks are like cookies because they are formed through heat and pressure acting on existing rocks (like baking changes the ingredients of cookie dough). The minerals in metamorphic rocks rearrange and recrystallize to create a new texture and structure, just like how the ingredients in cookies transform when baked. Both metamorphic rocks and cookies undergo a change in form and composition to create something new.
Changed-over rocks are called?
Metamorphic Rocks
Is metamorphic rocks made up of sedimentary rock igneous rock or other metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks
Are unakite rocks Metamorphic rocks or igneous rocks?
It is a type of Metamorphic rock
Are metamorphic rocks waterproof?
Metamorphic rocks can vary in their porosity and permeability, so some may be more waterproof than others. Typically, metamorphic rocks like marble and quartzite are more resistant to water penetration due to their compact and crystalline nature. However, the presence of fractures or foliation in metamorphic rocks can create pathways for water to infiltrate.
