Which type of rocks are produced from other type of rocks under high temperature and pressure?
Metamorphic rock can result from the exposure of existing igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock to high temperatures, high pressure, or a combination of both.
What forces causes sedimentary rocks to be transformed into metamorphic rocks?
The essential force in the metamorphic rock formation is pressure. The needed changes are driven by changes in the physical measures of temperature and pressure. As these conditions change, alterations in the composition of the minerals and textures follow.
What are metamorphic facies?
Depending on the pressure and temperature conditions under which a rock undergoes metamorphism, differing groups of minerals tend to form. These differing groups formed under differing conditions are known as metamorphic facies. For more information, please see the related link.
How can a metamorphic rock be change into an igneous rock?
By a process of melting and re-solidification of the melt produced..
Which metamorphic rocks are mostly likely to have formed at the highest temperatures and pressures?
Gneiss is a Plutonic metamorphic rock which is formed under high pressure and temperature condition at Katazone or Lower Zone.
How does sedimentry change into metamorphic?
Sedimentary rocks change under great pressure and temperature condition to form metamorphic rocks
The recrystallization of unmelted material under high temperature and pressure results in?
the recrystallization of unmelted material under high pressure results in Metamorphic Rock
Which type of rocks are produced from other type of rocks under high temperature and pressure?
Metamorphic rock can result from the exposure of existing igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock to high temperatures, high pressure, or a combination of both.
Does exposure to air help metamorphic rocks form?
No metamorphic rocks are formed deep in the crust under great temperature and pressure. No air is down there.
Which type of rocks are produced from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure?
metamorphic
Which type of rocked are produced from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure?
metamorphic
Are there curfews for those under 18?
there should be cause you dont know what might happend if there are no curfews for those under 18!(: bye
How could an igneous rock change to a metamorphic rock?
Under influence of pressure and temperature, a rock can change, the process is called deformation or metamorphism, the result is a metamorphic rock. This can happen to igneous rocks as well.
Which rock is formed from another kind of rock under great heat and pressure?
These will be metamorphic rocks:Regional metamorphosis occurs under heat and pressureThermal/contact metamorphosis occurs under heat only

Can an igneous rock change into a metamorphic rock?
Yes, metamorphism occurs under influence of pressure and temperature, igneous rocks aren't except from that.
