Fluctuating temperatures have diverse effects on rocks. This may cause freezing, thawing and break down of the rocks among other effects.
What else can I help you with?
What effects are metamorphic rocks formed by?
Metamorphic rocks are formed by the effects of high temperature, pressure, and/or chemically active fluids. These forces cause existing rocks to recrystallize and change their mineral composition without melting.
What are the effects of exfoliation of rocks?
when rocks expand with pressure
How are non foliated rocks are formed?
Non-foliated metamorphic rocks are formed due to the effects of temperature on rock masses, thereby resulting to alteration in there composition without much changes on there general structure.
What is the effects of ice wind and rain on rocks called?
The effects of ice wind and rain on rocks is called erosion.
As you go deeper into the earth the temperature and pressure?
increase. This is due to the Earth's internal heat and the weight of the overlying rock layers. The increase in temperature and pressure can have significant effects on the properties of rocks and fluids at depth.
Which type of rocks are produced by changing other rocks with high temperature and pressures underground?
Metamorphic rocks are produced by changing other rocks with temperature and pressure underground.
What effect do fluctuating temperatures have on rocks?
Fluctuating temperatures have diverse effects on rocks. This may cause freezing, thawing and break down of the rocks among other effects.
What is the effects of carbonate racks to global climate?
There are two effects of carbonate rocks to the global climate. The two effects of carbonate rocks to the global climate are dissolution and deposition.
How are igneous rocks changed to metamorphic rocks?
By high pressure and temperature
Which type of rocks are produced from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
What is the flaking of rocks due to temperature extremes?
Flaking of rocks due to extrmees of temperature is called freeze-thaw erosion or exfoliation.
Which type of rocks are produced by changing other rocks with high temperature and pressure underground?
Metamorphic rocks are produced when other rocks are subjected to high temperature and pressure underground. This process causes their mineral composition, texture, and structure to change, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks like marble, slate, and schist.
