What cause rocks to change into different rocks?
rocks change form in a process called the rock cycle
The process in which rocks change shape is called?
Igneous rocks are formed from molten lava being cooled down. Metamorphic rocks start as igneous rocks and change form. Sedimentary rocks form from layers in the earths crust.
Whats the process of change sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
The process of sedimentary rocks altering to metamorphic rocks is called metamorphosis.
Internal and external forces change rocks in the process called THE?
Foliation
What is the process in which rocks change shape is called deformation deposition composition or flotation?
deformation
How do rocks change when water in them freezes What is this process called?
it is called sediment,the rock would stay froze it wont change what so ever
What is it called when rocks continually change from one type to another?
The rock cycle
What is the process that helps create the different types of rocks?
weathering can change one type of rock to another
What are rocks changed from one type into another by a never ending process called?
the rock cycle
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.
How does higher pressure affect rocks?
When rocks are subjected to high pressures, they can change their formation and appearance. This process, which alters the structure of a rock, is called metamorphism.
What different types of rock can change form?
Rocks can change from one form to another from the results of weathering and erosion, or by stresses caused by heat or pressure, either over time or suddenly. Rocks can also change by a process called mesasomatism, where the chemistry of a rock is changed by ion transfer via hot circulating fluids.
