What are the steps of the rock cycle if it starts with Sedimentary rock is pulled into Earth's interior by tectonic forces?
heat and pressure change the sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock
In the rock cycle a rock that is changed by heat and pressure becomes a what?
metamorphic rock
Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath Earth's surface the same as thee forces that drive the rock cycle on or near Earth's surface?
they are not the same b/c the steps of the rock cycle that happen above the eartths surface require other things(evaporation etc.) than below the earths surface(heat, pressure, etc)
What is the process called when a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock becomes a metamorphic rock in the rock cycle?
Heat and pressure
The rock cycle is driven internally by heat from?
Earth's interior and the sun.
What kind of the steps of the rock cycle involve heat?
Orogenesis and Metamorphism.
Does the rock cycle involve both chemical and physical changes?
yes because the cycle envolves heat.
What are the steps of the rock cycle if it starts with Sedimentary rock is pulled into Earth's interior by tectonic forces?
heat and pressure change the sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock
How is the wed cycle related to the rock cycle?
by steps
How many ways are in the rock cycle?
There are seven steps in the rock cycle.
What rock from the rock cycle is changed by heat and pressure?
metamorphic rock
In the rock cycle a rock that is changed by heat and pressure becomes a what?
metamorphic rock
What are the rock cycle?
Rock cycle mean when one type of rock changes into another type under a great heat and preasure
What order is the rock cycle in?
First magma then there is heat and pressure which makes igneous rock then compaction, deposition, and cementation that makes sedimentary rock then more heat and pressure but not enough heat and pressure to melt it but enough to change it to metamorphic rock! and there you have it it's The Rock Cycle
