Rocks formed when older rocks are heated and or squeezed are called?
If it is squeezed and heated sufficiently to realign the minerals or form new minerals, it is called a metamorphic rock. If it is squeezed and heated enough to melt, then solidify, it would be called an igneous rock.
Metamorphic rocks can only be formed from?
Well, metamorphic rocks can be formed from sedimentary rock OR igneous rock OR other metamorphic rock that has been pushed far beneath the crust of the earth.
What M describes rocks that were formed when existing rocks were heated or squashed?
Metamorphic rock. This can naturally form an existing Sedimentary, Igneous or Metamorphic rock due to exposure to heat and/or pressure.
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
What is the term when rocks are formed when older rocks are heated or squeezed?
If it is squeezed and heated sufficiently to realign the minerals or form new minerals, it is called a metamorphic rock. If it is squeezed and heated enough to melt, then solidify, it would be called an igneous rock.
How are metamorpic rocks formed?
Sedimentary rocks are heated and pressed together.
What is metamoprphic rock formed from?
Metamorphic rocks are formed when the minerals in a rock are change chemically. Normally these rocks are near magma and get heated up, but do not melt.

Can rocks change from any other type of rock?
Yes, rocks can change from any type.Igneous rocks can be compressed and change into a Metamorphic.Sedimentary and Metamorphic can be heated and compressed together to form any kind of Metamorphic.Sedimentary rocks can be formed from chips of an Igneous rock.And so forth. . .
Rocks are formed when magma does what?
Rocks are formed when magma cools.
Are metamorphic rocks naturally formed?
Metamorphic rocks are naturally formed. they are formed from natural changes that happen to other rocks.
