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.

What happens when rocks are under great heat and pressure?
it will turn into metamorphic rock
Do heat and pressure have any effects on rocks?
Depending on the rock type, some may explode from excessive heat and pressure. Others may simply melt, if the temperature is hot enough, like that of magma.
How is metamorphic rock is made from sediment?
Metamorphic rocks are formed by rocks sedimentary or igneous that change their form under intense heat and or pressure.
Which rock form heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure.
What causes metamorphic rocks to form?
Pressure, Heat, Chemically active fluids (water and CO2 in rocks), Time(obviously), and the parent rock composition.
What rocks form under heat and pressure?
Metamorphic Rock
How do metamorphic rocks change?
they change because under heat or pressure
What happens when rocks are under great heat and pressure?
it will turn into metamorphic rock
When shale is under heat and pressure what two metamorphic rocks does it turn in to?
i donno
What force causes sedimentary rocks to be transformed into metamorphic rocks?
Pressure and heat from being buried under mountains.
What forces cause sedimentary rocks to transform into metamorphic rocks?
Pressure and heat from being buried under mountains.
Rocks at great depths are under?
Great depth means great heat and pressure.
What rock forms from placing other rocks under heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rock
Do heat and pressure have any effects on rocks?
Depending on the rock type, some may explode from excessive heat and pressure. Others may simply melt, if the temperature is hot enough, like that of magma.
What rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks?
the metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and extreme pressure from other rocks
How is metamorphic rock is made from sediment?
Metamorphic rocks are formed by rocks sedimentary or igneous that change their form under intense heat and or pressure.
What is rock that is changed by heat pressure or chemical change?
Metamorphic rocks have been changed by heat or pressure. This can be a change in size, shape, or arrangement of minerals.
