Rock is continually recycled into new forms of rock by the processes of weathering, erosion and lithification, melting and solidification, or by pressure and/or heat causing recrystallization and changes in mineralization.
metamorphism: reaching the parent rock's threshold for either temperature and/or pressure causes a change in the rock facies.
rocks can change from one type of rock to another, or not change at all
metamorphism: reaching the parent rock's threshold for either temperature and/or pressure causes a change in the rock facies.
The process is referred to as metamorphism.
The rock cycle
Chemical weathering is the type of weathering that causes the mineral composition of rocks to change. This process occurs when minerals in rocks react with elements in the environment, causing a chemical reaction that alters the rock's mineral composition over time.

Rock is continually recycled into new forms of rock by the processes of weathering, erosion and lithification, melting and solidification, or by pressure and/or heat causing recrystallization and changes in mineralization.
The process through which rocks change form is known as the rock cycle. It involves the transformation of rocks from one type to another over long periods of time through processes such as weathering, erosion, and metamorphism.
Yes, rocks can change from one kind to another through processes like metamorphism (changing due to heat and pressure) or weathering (breaking down into smaller particles). The rock cycle illustrates how rocks can continuously change from one type to another in any order.
i don't know but look in wikipidie to see your answer
The type of stress that causes rocks to pull apart is a tension stress. It is the major type of stress found in divergent plate boundaries.
