Heat and pressure change the rock into a metamorphic rock
What else can I help you with?
What is the physical processes that are important in transforming sedimentary rock into metamorphic rocks?
The physical processes important in transforming sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rocks are, Pressure, Temperature, Stress, Depth of burial and Metasomatism.
Is it possible for rocks in the rock cycle to skip becoming sedimentary rock?
Yes, it is possible for rocks in the rock cycle to skip becoming sedimentary rock. Rocks can undergo processes such as metamorphism or melting to transform directly into igneous or metamorphic rocks without passing through a sedimentary stage.
What processes help change metamorphic and igneous rocks to sedimentary rocks?
The rock cycle
What forces cause sedimentary rocks to transform into metamorphic rocks?
Pressure and heat from being buried under mountains.
What type(s) of rock ar most likely to be the parent rock of a metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks typically originate from either igneous or sedimentary parent rocks. Igneous rocks, such as granite, can undergo metamorphism to form gneiss, while sedimentary rocks like limestone can transform into marble. Additionally, some metamorphic rocks can also originate from other metamorphic rocks through further metamorphic processes. The conditions of temperature and pressure during metamorphism play a crucial role in determining the characteristics of the resulting metamorphic rock.
What type of rocks weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks?
Igneous, metamorphic, and existing sedimentary rocks can weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can break down into sediments through processes like weathering and erosion, which then may accumulate and lithify into sedimentary rocks. Existing sedimentary rocks can also be reworked and lithified to form new sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation.
What are the processes of the major rocks?
Igneous Rock Metamorphic Rock Sedimentary Rock
What type of rock do they eventually become?
Rocks can transform into different types through geological processes. Igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion, while sedimentary rocks can be transformed into metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. If metamorphic rocks melt, they can become magma, which may cool and solidify into new igneous rocks. This continuous cycle is known as the rock cycle.
What are three types of rocks?
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
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
What type of rocks are formed by processes by the sun?
sedimentary Mr. R This is incorrect. The answer is metamorphic.
