What is it called when a rock changes?
Metamorphism....A metamorphic rock is a rock formed when it undergoes chemical reactions,tremendous heat and great pressure to form a new kind of rock from an existing one.
What forms as heat or pressure cause changes in an existing rock?
A "metamorphic" rock forms.
Are sedimentary rocks form from rock and mineral fragments and metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks?
Yes sedimentary rocks form from erosion, consolidation, and cementation of old rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from changes to an existing rock through a mineralogical change within brought on primarily by heat and to some extent by pressure.
What rocks form from existing rocks?
metamorphic rock
What are mettamorphic rock?
A metamorphic rock is a rock that is changed from an already existing form of rock by pressure or temperature
What is the name for a rock that changes form?
Metamorphic rock
Does chemical process change he form of existing rock?
yes
WHAT IS The original rock before it metamorphoses?
The original rock before it undergoes metamorphism is called a protolith. This protolith can be any type of pre-existing rock, such as shale, sandstone, or granite, that is subjected to heat, pressure, and chemical changes to form a metamorphic rock.
Which rocks could form when existing bits of rock stick together?
If existing bits of rock become attached through the process of lithification, a clastic sedimentary rock is formed.
Rock formed by changes in heat and pressure or the presence of hot or watery fluids?
Metamorphic rock forms when existing rock is subjected to intense heat, pressure, or chemically active fluids, causing it to recrystallize and form new minerals. This process can transform existing rock types like sedimentary or igneous rocks into metamorphic rocks like marble, slate, or schist.
During the process of the reformation of rock only a small amount of pre-existing rocks remains the same as its form changes is this true or false?
True. During the rock reformation process, the original rocks undergo changes in form and structure, resulting in the formation of new rocks. Only a small amount of the original rock material may remain unchanged as the rock undergoes processes such as metamorphism or weathering.
What rocks form if bits of existing rock got stuck together?
morpheus rock is formed i think
