What Metamorphic rock forms as a result?
heat and pressure
What type of rock forms when heat and pressure change one type of rock into another?
Changes in the structure, texture, or mineralogy of existing rocks will create a metamorphic rock. Metamorphism can result from the effects of heat and/or pressure, or from the addition of ions from heated fluids. Examples of metamorphic rock are slate, schist, and gneiss.
Which physical processes result in the formation of metamorphic rocks?
heat and pressure
The crystals of many metamorphic rocks are aligned in bands as a result of?
heat and pressure
When the physical form of substance changes without changing its composition?
This process is known as a physical change. It involves a change in the state or appearance of a substance but does not result in the formation of a new substance. Examples of physical changes include melting ice, boiling water, and breaking a glass bottle. The chemical composition of the substance remains the same throughout the physical change.
What changes with a chemical change?
chemical changes affect the chemical properties as well as composition of matter , that result in the formation of a new substance.
True or false as a star ages its internal composition changes as a result of rising temperature?
true
Scientists believe that earth's early atmosphere changes in composition as a result of?
the appearance of oxygen-producing organisms
When heat and presure are applied to a rock what kind of rock results?
Exposure to intense heat and/or pressure can result in changes to a rock's mineralogy, crystal structure, and mineral alignment. Such changes can create a metamorphic rock.
Do the changes in rocks due to heat and pressure result in the formation of metamorphic rocks?
Yes. A rock is said to be metamorphosed when it undergoes a change due to heat and/or pressure.
Is melting a metamorphic process?
No. If a rock melts and then re-solidifies the result is counted as igneous, not metamorphic.
Is the earth's shape is primarily the result of magnetism?
Earth's shape is primarily the result of:

What is the process called where igneous sedimentary or metamorphic rocks are changed by heat or pressure?
Your question contains part of the answer, 'metamorphic' rocks are the product of this process and the process is called Metamorphism - the solid-state recrystallization of pre-existing rocks as a result of changes in heat, pressure, and/or introduction of fluids.
What most metamorphic rock forms as a result of?
regional metamorphism
What forms partly as the result of surface processes?
metamorphic slate
