What does sedimentary limestone turn into when heat and pressure is applied?
Marble, an intermediate grade metamorphic rock.
What 2 things are applied to igneous or sedimentary rocks that make metamorphic rocks form?
Heat and pressure!!
All rocks are made of sediments?
Not all rocks are, only sedimentary rocks are truly made up of sediments. Some metamorphic rocks do because they are formed when heat and pressure are applied to sedimentary rocks, which makes sediments the basis of these rocks as well
Are sedimentary rocks that form when minerals come out of a solution classified as porphyritic?
No. I believe they are called chemical precipitate sedimentary rocks. Yes, I'm sure they're called that. Absolutely! Porphyritic is a term usually applied to igneous rocks, having to do with mineral formation and rock texture.
The laws of superposition and original horizontality are best applied to?
the law of super position basically says, "Sedimentary layers are deposited in a time sequence, with the oldest on the bottom and the youngest on the top."
Characteristics and importance of sedimentary rocks as applied to civil engineering?
importance of sedimentary rocks as applied to civil engineering
When heat and pressure is applied to sedimentary rock it changes into what?
Diamond
What does a sedimentary rock before it can turn into a metamorphic rock?
Not sure what you are trying to ask. Sedimentary rocks form from sediments, but can be metamorphosed only by applied heat &/or pressure.
What you observed to the different products applied in your plants as a principles in mineral nutrition?
What you observed in the different products applied to your plants as principles in mineral nutrition will depend on which products were used. The types of plants will also play a factor.
What causes fracturing of sedimentary rocks?
Any force applied on it, erosion, pressure and heat from underground.
What does sedimentary limestone turn into when heat and pressure is applied?
Marble, an intermediate grade metamorphic rock.
What must happen to sediments before they become sedimentary rocks?
They must undergo deposition then have heat and pressure applied. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the actions of chemical or mechanical processes.
Is this true or false sedimentary rocks can be turned into metamorphic rocks when heat and pressure is applied?
that is definitely true!
What 2 things are applied to igneous or sedimentary rocks that make metamorphic rocks form?

Match the experimental conditions applied to the photoelectric effect observed.?
conditions of photoelectric effect
What processes can transform igneous rocks into sedimentary rock?
In order for an igneous rock to be changed to a sedimentary rock the rock must be weathered down into, well, some form of sediment (sand, gravel, ect.) and then have pressure applied to it to become a sedimentary rock.
What makes a sedimentary or igneous rock form to a metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure is applied to the rock and it becomes a metamorphic rock.
