What condition change igneous sedimentary to metamorphic rock?
Excess pressure, extreme stress, and high temperature
How does a sedimentary rock form a metomorpic rock?
extreme heat and pressure
Which type of rock is formed from tiny particles of sand shells pebbles?
No, in order to be a metamorphic rock, it has to be a rock that undergoes extreme heat and pressure. What you're describing is the formation of a sedimentary rock called a limestone.
What rock is formed when existing rock is altered by conditions of extreme pressure and temperature?
Metamorphic Rocks
Can high pressure can change an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?
No, high pressure alone cannot change an igneous rock into sedimentary rock; however, the reverse is true. High pressure can change sedimentary rock into igneous rock.
What condition change igneous sedimentary to metamorphic rock?
Excess pressure, extreme stress, and high temperature
How do you change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
By extreme heat and pressure.
How does a sedimentary rock form a metomorpic rock?
extreme heat and pressure
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
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 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.
Changing pressure and temperature can transform sedimentary rock into what other type of rock?
Metamorphic Rock
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.
The two common factors that turn sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock are pressure and?
Temperature And Chemical
Is coal sedimentary?
Coal is a sedimentary rock. However, harder forms of coal, because of exposure to elevated temperature and pressure, are metamorphic rock.
Is coal a sedimentary rocks?
Coal is a sedimentary rock. However, harder forms of coal, because of exposure to elevated temperature and pressure, are metamorphic rock.
How would a sedimentary rock change to a metamorphic rock?
Through metamorphism, as a result of increase in pressure and/or temperature.
