rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
sedimentary rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks by the use of pressure and/or heat
If igneous rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to recrystallize into new igneous rocks. On the other hand, if sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to metamorphose into metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
Yes, both sedimentary and igneous rock can be metamorphosed by heat and pressure.
No, sedimentary is formed by compression. Metamorphic is created by heat and pressure. Sedimentary can be melted to create metamorphic.
Sedimentary rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure, while igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks through the same process. Both types of rocks can also be weathered and eroded, leading to the formation of new sedimentary rocks.
