Can a rock chang to a type of rock to another?
rocks can change from one type of rock to another, or not change at all
How do forces inside earth drive the rock cycle?
Earth's surface and inside the planet slowly change rocks from one kind to another.
Internal and external forces change rocks in the process called THE?
Foliation
For metamorphic rocks which forces allow for mineral growth and change within the rock?
heat and pressure
What types of rocks can only be formed by the chemical change of another rock?
metamorphic
Which of the types of rocks can only be formed by the chemical change of another rock?
metamorphic
What is it called when rocks continually change from one type to another?
The rock cycle
What force can change the size and shape of rocks?
If by form you mean the composition and structure, the forces of heat and pressure can lead to metamorphism of a rock from one type into another.
Do rocks change into different rock in the rock cycle?
yes, rocks change. metamorphic, sedimantary and igneous rocks can change into eachother.
What is a series of processes that slowly change rocks from one kind to another?
Rock cycle
How rocks are created?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have "morphed" into another kind of rock. These rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks. How do sedimentary and igneous rocks change? The rocks are under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change. If you exam metamorphic rock samples closely, you'll discover how flattened some of the grains in the rock are.
What is the force that acts on rock to change its shape?
I believe pressure is the answer you are looking for here. Other forces that change the shape of rocks include weathering and erosion.
