What type of areas are most likely to form metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and schist?
Metamorphic rocks are most likely found at a site that is deep under ground. Metamorphic rocks are formed by other materials under great amounts of pressure. This pressure is caused by plate collisions in the lithosphere.
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.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
Where do metomorphic rocks form?
metamorphic rocks are formed in earths crust not on the surface
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks form form other metamorphic rocks?
yes, all rocks can form from all others depending on pressure, etc
What materials do you get from the Earth?
it is the materials on the periodic table and rocks such as ignous rocks sedimentry and metamorphic rocks and many many more!

What rocks form from existing rocks?
metamorphic rock
What rocks recrystallize to form metamorphic?
Igneous rocks, Sedimentary rocks and pre-existing Metamorphic rocks.
Do metamorphic rocks form quickly?
No
What are intermediate materials in a rock cycle?
In the Rock Cycle : The Rocks are- Sedimentary Rocks, Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks. The Intermediate Materials are- Sediments and Magma
What makes a metamorphic rock unique?
Metamorphic Rocks are rocks that have changed form due to heat and pressure.
How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic rocks?
by metamorfism of sandstone.
