What happens to igneous rock in intense heat and pressure?
The rock becomes a metamorphic rock
What 2 things are needed to change a rock into metamorphic rock?
intense heat and pressure.
What is an igeous rock?
produced by volcanic action or intense heat
How do igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks form?
If any kind of rock-igneous or sedimentary- is far enough beneath the surface, the pressure can change it into a metamorphic rock. Also heat - the effects differ. It doesn't have to be ever so deeply buried, geologically, since metamorphism is usually a orogenic process in the affected sedimentary rock.
What type of rock produced by intense heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks are produced by intense heat and pressure on pre-existing rocks.
What happens to igneous rock in intense heat and pressure?
The rock becomes a metamorphic rock
What can change any rock into a metamorphic rock?
intense heat and pressure.
Intense heat and pressure change igneous and sedimentary rock into?
metamorphic rock
What 2 things are needed to change a rock into metamorphic rock?
intense heat and pressure.
What two things can change any rock into a metamorphic rock?
Intense heat and pressure.
What is metamorphic rock forms from?
Metamorphic rock is formed when Igneous rock and Sedimentary rock go through intense heat and pressure.
How do igneous rocks form from sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
If any kind of rock-igneous or sedimentary- is far enough beneath the surface, the pressure can change it into a metamorphic rock. Also heat - the effects differ. It doesn't have to be ever so deeply buried, geologically, since metamorphism is usually a orogenic process in the affected sedimentary rock.
Can an igneous rock be transformed diretly into a metamorphic rock?
Yes they can with intense head and pressure. Please check the rock cycle.

produced by volcanic action or intense heat

How fast rock breaks down is affected by?
The speed is affected by the climate and the composition of the rock, and to some degree, plate tectonics.
What type of rock produced by intense heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks are produced by intense heat and pressure on pre-existing rocks.
