What causes the pressure to allow diamonds to form in the mantle?
The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle.
What causes metamorphic rocks to form?
Pressure, Heat, Chemically active fluids (water and CO2 in rocks), Time(obviously), and the parent rock composition.
Where do metamorphism rocks form?
where do metamorphic rocks form, the mantle crust or core?Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have "morphed" into another kind of rock. These rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks. How do sedimentary and igneous rocks change? The rocks are under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change. If you exam metamorphic rock samples closely, you'll discover how flattened some of the grains in the rock are. this is how they are formed.
What causes air holes in igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks form when lava or magma cools.But when cooling there are air bubbles that are trapped in the lava.Prime examples of this event are found in pumice and scoria
What causes rocks to dissolve?
sasa
How does the weight of the earths crust help to form metamorpic rocks?
Weight causes density, density causes pressure, pressure causes heat. Heat and pressure change rocks into other rocks, which are metamophic.
What kind of rock do fossils form?
Sedimentary rock, its rarely found in metamorphic and never found in igneous rock because it would make the fossil of the animal worped and changed. It wouldn't be with the original form on metamorphic and igneous would destroy the whole fossil.
Which type of rock forms when exteme heat and pressure is applied?
Heat and pressure causes Metamorphic Rocks to form.
What causes the pressure to allow diamonds to form in the mantle?
The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle.
This process breaks down rocks and forms soil?
Erosion is the wearing away of rocks by wind and water, which causes them to break down and form soil.
What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in?
The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle results in the pressure that allows diamonds to form.
When an obstacle causes wind to slow down and deposit the materials pile up and eventually form a?
rocks
When an obstacle causes wind to slow down and deposition materials pile up and eventually form a?
rocks
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
What causes metamorphic rocks to form?
Pressure, Heat, Chemically active fluids (water and CO2 in rocks), Time(obviously), and the parent rock composition.

Is gravity the force that causes rocks to change shape and size?
No, its erosion that causes rocks to change
