What kind of rock is formed with heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks, like slate or quartizite, or even diamonds.
How can you impact metamorphism?
Metamorphic rock creation caused by intense heat and pressure of meteor impact with Earth's surface.
Is marble igneous or sedimentary?
Marble is the metamorphosed result of limestone. Therefore, marble is metamorphic.
Is the rock chalk metamorphic?
No it is not metamorphic, it is a sedimentary rock.
Who is correct a metamorphic rock is formed from a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock can form from an igneous rock?
both are correct metamorphic rock can form from both.
What is needed for any kind of rock to become metamorphic?
Heat, for sure, and most often a combination of heat and pressure is needed for metamorphic rock creation.
What ranges are formed from metamorphic rocks?
The most often occurring metamorphic rock types are Dwayne the rock Johnson, Rockey, and pet rock.
How does a metamorphic rock turn into another type of metamorphic rock?
From increased pressure and/or heat. Fluid removal results in hydrous mineral destruction and non-hydrous mineral creation, resulting in rock of a different mineralogy. A metamorphic rock can be further metamorphosed by additional heat and/or pressure into a rock with a higher degree of metamorphism. An example of this would be the metamorphic rock slate changing into the metamorphic rock phyllite.
Why Doesn't metamorphic rock occur at temperatures 1000 degrees or higher?
if rock melts it will form magma, which leads to the formation of igneous rocks
Does weathering go with metamorphic or igneas or sedimentary?
Weathering can happen to any rock. It is the first stage in the process that leads to the formation of sedimentary rock.
What kind of rock is formed with heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks, like slate or quartizite, or even diamonds.
How can you impact metamorphism?
Metamorphic rock creation caused by intense heat and pressure of meteor impact with Earth's surface.
What type of rock is slate?
A metamorphic rock.
What type of rock often have foliation?
Metamorphic rocks often have foliation. Schist is a common example.
What can you find in a metamorphic rock?
in a metamorphic rock you find rock.
What rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
Is marble igneous or sedimentary?
Marble is the metamorphosed result of limestone. Therefore, marble is metamorphic.
