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.
What helps create both metamorphic rock and sedimentary rocks?
cementation
Are metamorphic rocks only formed by igneous rocks?
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
Are unakite rocks Sedimentary rocks Metamorphic rocks or Igneous rocks?
metamorphic
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.
Is metamorphic rocks made up of sedimentary rock igneous rock or other metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks
Where so metamorphic rocks form?
Metamorphic rocks are basically the transitiion stage of one type of rock to another. Usually a metamorphic rock is usually formed underneath the topsoil; it is one of the main components of tectonic plates. So, depending on your grade level, guessing 8th, metamorphic rocks are created from magma, melted magma in/under the Earth's crust.
