the rock cycle.
What else can I help you with?
What is the continuous process by which one type of rock changes into another?
The rock cycle is the process through which rocks change from one type to another. This process includes melting, metamorphism, uplift, weathering, and burial. Metamorphism is specifically the change of pre-existing rock into new rock through pressure and temperature.
Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.
How can one type of rock become another type of rock how is it possible?
One type of rock can transform into another type of rock through the process of metamorphism, which occurs due to changes in temperature, pressure, or the presence of fluids. During metamorphism, the mineral composition and texture of the rock can change, resulting in the formation of a new type of rock. This process usually takes place deep within the Earth's crust over long periods of time.
What is the process called when heat and pressure transform one type of rock into another?
The process is called metamorphism, where heat and pressure change one type of rock into another.
What are the rock cycle?
Rock cycle mean when one type of rock changes into another type under a great heat and preasure
What process turns rock from one type to another?
Metamorphic rock cycle
What kind of rock forms when any type of solid rock changes into another type of rock because of increased pressure or temperature?
Those are metamorphic rocks, changed from one type to another by extreme pressure.
What is a rock that continuously changes from one type to another?
A rock that continuously changes from one type to another due to heat and pressure is called a metamorphic rock. This transformation occurs deep within the Earth's crust where existing rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, causing them to recrystallize into a different type of rock.
What is the process that changes what rock is made of?
You are most likely referring to metamorphism. It can change it's chemical make-up. It is the process by which rocks are altered in texture, composition or chemical structure by extreme heat and pressure.
What type of weathering is the process that breaks down rock through chemical changes?
Chemical Weathering
How can a rock become another rock?
Through the process of metamorphism, a rock can be subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing its mineral composition and texture to change. This can result in the formation of a new type of rock, such as from limestone to marble or from shale to schist.
How might a sedimentary rock become another sedimentary rock without first changing into another rock type?
A sedimentary rock can become another sedimentary rock through the process of diagenesis. This involves the compaction and cementation of existing sedimentary rocks to form a new rock without going through a different rock type. This can happen through the addition of more sediment layers or changes in environmental conditions.
