What do rocks do under heat and pressure?

rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.


Which rock form heat and pressure?

Metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure.


Why do metamorphic rocks often form deep under the surface of the earth?

Metamorphic rocks form deep under the Earth's surface because the high pressures and temperatures required for the transformation of existing rocks into metamorphic rocks are typically found at greater depths. These conditions are usually created by tectonic forces or by the burial of rocks under layers of sediment.


How is metamorphic rock is made from sediment?

Metamorphic rocks are formed by rocks sedimentary or igneous that change their form under intense heat and or pressure.

Are sedimentary rocks form from rock and mineral fragments and metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks?

Yes sedimentary rocks form from erosion, consolidation, and cementation of old rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from changes to an existing rock through a mineralogical change within brought on primarily by heat and to some extent by pressure.


How the conditions under which rocks form affect the physical stability of Rocks?

The conditions that affect physical stability are heat, temperature, compression, pressure, and the molecular structure.


Do heat and pressure form metamorphic rocks?

yes it does :p
