How does metamorphic form?
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
How does metamorphic rock chang into a sedimentary rock?
A sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock when there is heat, pressure, and time. -over a long period of time
What process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Subduction and high pressure.
How Metamorphic rock form?
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
What affects the way a rock changes through the rock cycle?
Primarily heat, pressure, erosion, and compaction causes rocks to change during the Rock Cycle. For example, sedimentary rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by added heat and added pressure; metamorphic rock can be changed into igneous rock through a process of melting, then cooling (added then decreased heat); igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock through weather and erosion, and then compaction and cementation.
What layer in the Earth changes sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure?
heat and pressure
When heat and pressure is applied to sedimentary rock it changes into what?
Diamond
How do heat and pressure change sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
What are some changes that occur when a sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock?
To change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock, you change it by time,heat, and pressure.
What changes igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
Heat, pressure, or transfer of elements through high temperature solutions.
What changes metamorphic to sedimentary?
1. Sedimentary will only change to metamorphic, not the other way around. 2. Sedimentary rock will change to metamorphic by means of heat and pressure.
What are three things that can change sedimentary rocks?
Pressure, heat, & erosion. There are chemical, physical, and biological changes.
