A soft metamorphic rock composed of the mineral talc?
Soapstone is a metamorphic rock composed of the mineral talc. Soapstone is a non-foliated metamorphic rock with a microcrystalline texture. It is very soft and can be easily scratched.
When a sedimentary rock undergoes great amounts of heat and pressure it turns into what?
It could change into a metamorphic rock.
How ingneous rock can turn into sedimentary rock?
Igneous Rock turns into a Sedimentary Rock using Weathering and Erosion. Weathering breaks down the rock into small sediments. Erosion takes the rock and send the sediments into another location, where they are deposited and then consolidated to form a sedimentary rock.
What changes are involved when mud from a lake bottom turns into a sedimentary rock then into a metamorphic rock?
The sediments on the lake bottom undergo lithification and become sedimentary rock. Further compaction, pressure, and heat turn it into metamorphic rock.
Which type of rock forms when sediments become pressed and cemented together?
When cemented together, clastic sedimentary rock.
What rock turns into soapstone?
sandstone
Is soapstone a igneous or a sedimentary or a metamorphic rock?
Soapstone is a metamorphic rock. It is formed through the metamorphism of ultramafic rocks, such as peridotite or serpentinite. This process involves high heat and pressure, which causes the minerals in the rock to recrystallize, resulting in the formation of soapstone.
When sedimentary rock melts what does it become?
It turns into a metamorphic rock.
How do heat and pressure change sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
When sediment turns into sedimentary rock does sedimentary rock turn back to sediment?
Sedimentary rocks can turn back into sediment by a process of weathering and erosion.
What type of rock does limestone become when it turns into metamorphic rock?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock but due to metamorphosis it turns to Marble, a metamorphic rock.
How can a metamorphic rock turn into sedimentary rock and then back to metamorphic?
metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......

How does sedimentary rock form to metamorphic rock?
Shale (a metamorphic rock) goes through heat and pressure than it turns into slate (a sedimentary rock)
What sedimentary rock turns into the igneous rock basalt?
None. Basalt is formed by the rapid cooling of mafic (silica-poor) magma. It is not formed from sedimentary rock.
How can an igneous change into a metamorphic then into a sedimentary rock?
yo bro I got u igneous turns into metamorphic because of extreme pressure and temperature and metamorphic turns into sedimentary rock because through weathering and erosion
Can a metamorphic rock break in half then one half turns into a igneous rock and the other into a sedimentary rock?
The only way a metamorphic rock can become a sedimentary rock is if it is eroded and the pieces settle in a body of water and eventually become sedimentary rock. A whole piece of metamorphic rock is never going to become , by itself, a piece of sedimentary rock.
