Which type of rock forms becaues of high heat and pressure without melting?
metamorphic rock
Is it physical or chemical when dry ice evaporates without melting as time passes?
It is a physical change because the composition of the dry ice didn't change; it just changed forms
Why snow forms an ice ball on compressing?
Snow forms an ice ball when compressed because the pressure forces the individual snowflakes to melt slightly on their surfaces. This melted water then refreezes quickly due to the cold temperatures, forming the ice ball. The pressure applied during compression increases the temperature at the points of contact, facilitating the melting and subsequent freezing process.
Marble is a metamorphic rock that was originally?
By definition a metamorphic rock has undergone recrystallization without melting - that requires a lot of heat and pressure. Marble is a metamorphic rock - it is recrystallized limestone or dolostone.
How are melting and freezing alike?
they are both forms of tempurature
Which type of rock forms becaues of high heat and pressure without melting?
metamorphic rock
A metamorphic rock is from where?
Metamorphic rock usually forms when a rock is altered under heat and pressure without melting. Some rocks may be metamorphosed by contact with hot water,
Why doesn't the earth's iron core melt?
the earth has plates because it forms nature
what type of rock forms because of melting followed by cooling?
Igneous rocks
Why is there a difference between rocks?
The difference lies in the method of the rock's creation (melting, sediment, pressure), and the elements available when and where it forms.
Is it physical or chemical when dry ice evaporates without melting as time passes?
It is a physical change because the composition of the dry ice didn't change; it just changed forms
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms what substance?
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma.
What forms when high temperatures and pressures combine to alter mineralogy or chemical composition of a rock without melting it?
metamorphic rocks
What forms when a high temperatures and pressures combine to alter the texture mineralogy or chemical composition of a rock without melting it?
metamorphisis
What rock forms near earth's surface without influence of heat and pressure?
Sedimentary.
