Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can be changed by high temperatures and pressure, and the resultant rock is called metamorphic, because its form has been changed.

What conditions do rocks exhibit ductile deformation?
In high pressures
High pressure and high temperature cause rocks to?
High temperature and pressure can cause rocks to change their forms. This is known as metamorphic.High pressure and high temperature can cause rocks to change forms. This is known as metamorphic.
What type of rock do heat and pressure make?
Metamorphic rocks are created when existing solid rocks are exposed to high temperatures and pressures.
Which type of rocks are produced by changing other rocks with high temperature and pressure underground?
Metamorphic rocks are produced by changing other rocks with temperature and pressure underground.
Can all rocks be melted?
Yes, at a sufficiently high temperature, all rocks can be melted.
Which type of rocks are produced by changing other rocks with high temperature and pressures underground?
Metamorphic rocks are produced by changing other rocks with temperature and pressure underground.
How are rocks formed very short answer?
Theigneous rocks are formed by high temperature and pressure of earth mass.
What effects are metamorphic rocks formed by?
The high pressure and high temperature inside the earths crust
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 Rutile form?
Rutile is a mineral that is mainly composed of titanium dioxide. It is commonly found in metamorphic rocks and is formed due to high temperatures and high pressures in the environment.
Is polythene a gas?
Polyethylene (polythene) is a waxy solid polymer formed from ethylene gas monomer under high temperature and pressures.
What conditions do rocks exhibit ductile deformation?
In high pressures
Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks can form at high temperatures and pressures What is the difference between these two rock types?
it is an metamorphic rock, because of the pressure it gets hot and it is formed underground.
What happen to minerals when rocks becomes a metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are created from rocks that are deformed by tectonic forces and/or are brought to temperature that are much different from those that they were first formed in (usually hotter). The effect of increased temperature is the growth of minerals from others that are no longer stable under the changed pressure and temperature conditions (e.g. diamond is formed from graphite under very high pressure and garnet growths at high temperatures and pressures from aluminium rich usually sedimentary rocks). The effect of shear stress on the rock (i.e. directed force creating not only compression but also deformation) is the change of shape of minerals as well as rotation and alignment of platy minerals into bands. These processes lead to the usually banded appearance of metamorphic rocks.
High pressure and high temperature cause rocks to?
High temperature and pressure can cause rocks to change their forms. This is known as metamorphic.High pressure and high temperature can cause rocks to change forms. This is known as metamorphic.
Why might metamorphic rocks form near tectonic plate boundaries?
Metamorphic rocks are formed through high pressure and temperature. At tectonic boundaries there are abundances of both.
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.
