That is called a Metamorphic rock. it can take thousands to millions of years to create these but they can be formed pretty quickly too. for example, when a meitor hits the earths surface, it can create metamorphic rocks instantly.

∙ 9y agoRocks which have undergone changes due to pressure are called metamorphic rocks. The deeper into the earth the rock is located, the more heat and pressure it is subject to.

What rock is it called when the pressure changes layers of dead plants into coal?
It's NOT photosynthesis.
What changes igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
Heat, pressure, or transfer of elements through high temperature solutions.
When heat and pressure is applied to sedimentary rock it changes into what?
Diamond
When a rock changes because of surrounding pressure?
Burial Metamorphism :) <3
Metamorphism involves what two conditions act on the existing rock to change it?
Metamorphism involves temperature and high pressure and chemical changes. The high pressure, chemical changes and temperature are the metamorphism that act on a rock that makes it change.
What rock is it called when the pressure changes layers of dead plants into coal?
It's NOT photosynthesis.
How does heat in the form of friction and pressure affect the rock cycle?
The heat (in the form of friction and pressure) affects the rock by performing a process called menstrual which changes the material of the rock, but not the mass.
What changes a sedimentry rock into a metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure
What layer in the Earth changes sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure?
heat and pressure
What is it called when a rock changes?
Metamorphism....A metamorphic rock is a rock formed when it undergoes chemical reactions,tremendous heat and great pressure to form a new kind of rock from an existing one.
When heat and pressure changes a rock what kind of rock does it turn into?
metamorphic
What are some changes that occur when a sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock?
To change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock, you change it by time,heat, and pressure.
How do you change a igneous rock to a metamorphic rock?
you expose the rock to extreme heat or pressure such that the rock changes.
What is a dynamic metamorphism?
A process that changes rock due to directed pressure on a rock
What is a dynamic to metamorphism?
A process that changes rock due to directed pressure on a rock
What is a force that changes a rock shape and volume?
pressure
What changes igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
Heat, pressure, or transfer of elements through high temperature solutions.
