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 would happen to the pressure if the volume were reduced to 0.5 and the temperature increased to 260?
Reducing the volume that a gas occupies will increase the pressure because it reduces the surface area that the gas has to impact against. Likewise increasing the temperature will increase pressure by increasing the kinetic energy of the gas molecules.
Why is oxgen a gas at room temperature?
Oxygen is a gas at room temperature and room PRESSURE as well...if you increased the pressure it would be in a liquid state but at a very low temperature as well...Because Temperature and pressure are inversely proportional...In other words as pressure goes up temperature goes down at the same rate, (See BOYLES LAW). Also think of ICE, WATER and STEAM...or SOLID, LIQUID and GAS...Pressure is always related when change of temperature is present and visa versa...
Under constant pressure the volume of a gas and its kelvin temperature are?
Directly proportional.Related Information:According to the Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT) if the Pressure P is held constant and the Temperature is increased, the Volume will also increase.
The pressure of 250 kPa acting on 15 cubic meters of a gas at a temperature of 100 K is increased to 500 kPa and the volume is increased to 30 cubic meters?
Use the ideal gas equation to solve this. PV= nRT. You will have to convert your pressure to atmosphere to use the constant R = 0.0821 L*ATM/mol*K. You know your initial pressure, volume, and temperature. Moles can be neglected (n) because they will stay the same. You also know your final pressure and final volume, so you can solve for final temperature.
Is the core of the earth hotter than the core of the moon?
The outer core is liquid. Its pressure is low enough and its temperature high enough for it to melt. The inner core is solid. Both its pressure and temperature are higher than the outer core, but the increased pressure overwhelms the increased temperature, keeping the inner core from melting.
Does rock buried at depth have a much lower melting temperature than rock of the same composition but under normal pressures?
No. It has a much higher melting temperature because it is more difficult for it to expand due to the increased pressure at depth.
Is temperature related to pressure air?
Temperature is related to air pressure because the air pressure can determine the movement of wind. If cool winds move from areas of high pressure to low pressure zones, the temperature in that place will drop.
Matter changes state because of?
Matter changes state because of temperature and pressure. These quantities bring change.
Why air pressure changes?
because of change in its temperature
Why is cool air an area of low pressure?
Cool air is an area of low pressure because temperature is directly proportional to pressure. So when the pressure is low, the air is cool (low temperature).
Why the jugular venous pressure falls during inspiration?
because the endothoracic pressure is decreased and the venous return to the heart is increased.
Why the boiling point of water in pressure cooker high?
A pressure cooker minimizes the escape of fluids or air. The build-up of air and fluid increases the pressure inside the cooker, which also increases the boiling point. An open kettle allows the fluid and air to escape, heat is lost thus cooking time is longer.
