What is a rock formed when high heat and great pressure change existing rocks?
Metamorphic
What type of rock do heat and pressure make?
Metamorphic rocks are created when existing solid rocks are exposed to high temperatures and pressures.
What has to happen for metamorphism occur?
Heat and high pressure
What changes igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
Heat, pressure, or transfer of elements through high temperature solutions.

What has to happen for metamorphism occur?
Heat and high pressure
Which factor is most important for each type of metamorphism?
regional: heat and pressure and shear stress (LOCAL)- contact: heat- high pressure- low deformational: high -pressure, low- heat
What does the condenser do in a refrigeration or air conditioning system?
It passes heat out of the high pressure high temp vaporized refrigerant so the it becomes a high pressure lower temperature liquid.It passes heat out of the high pressure high temp vaporized refrigerant so the it becomes a high pressure lower temperature liquid.
What process can change metamorphic rock into sedimentary?
When the sedimentary rock is going under heat and pressure, turning it into a metamorphic rock.
What does high pressure combustion produce?
Heat
When existing rock is subjected to high temperature and pressure form?
metmorphic rack
Are chocolate diamonds formed under high pressure?
All diamonds are formed under high pressure - - and high heat.
What can high heat and pressure do to an igneous rock?
If you have enough heat and pressure it can turn back to molten lava (This is a wild guess by the way)
What changes igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
Heat, pressure, or transfer of elements through high temperature solutions.
Explain why there are global high-pressure and low-pressure belts on Earth?
The convection cells radiate heat.
