Can metamorphic rock form out of other metamorphic rock?
No.
Who is correct a metamorphic rock is formed from a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock can form from an igneous rock?
both are correct metamorphic rock can form from both.
Why would you expect a metamorphic rock to form at a temperature lower then the melting point of rock?
If the rock melts the resulting rock type would be igneous rather than metamorphic.
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.
Does it take millions of years to form a metamorphic rock?
Most metamorphic rock processes involve very long periods of time. The exception would be metamorphic rocks formed by meteorite impacts.
Can heat form an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?
metamorphic because it melts the rock and forms another
How would metamorphic rock change into a new metamorphic rock?
the
Which process can cause metamorphic rock to change into igneous rock?
Melting of the bulk of the metamorphic rock, then solidification from cooling, will form an igneous rock.
What type of rock is most likely to form in an earthquake zone?
A metamorphic rock is most likely to form in an earthquake zone.
The heat and pressure at which some metamorphic rocks origanially form allow them to sometimes remain?
It would remain metamorphic 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.
Can metamorphic rocks from from other metamorphic rocks?
Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.
