What are examples of metomorphic rocks?
there is coal and there is pizza
Why do many rocks become rounded?
Erosion and weathering will cause rocks to become rounded.
Describe can metomorphic rock are classified what are the characteristics of rocks in each of these classifications?
they are classified by how they are classified
Where do metomorphic rocks form?
Metamorphic rocks form deep underground under high pressure and heat conditions, typically within the Earth's crust. They can also form at plate boundaries where tectonic forces cause rocks to be buried and subjected to these extreme conditions.
What are two examples of Metomorphic rocks?
Slate and marble are examples of metamorphic rocks. Other metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and quartzite. All metamorphic rocks are formed from other rock types.
What cause rocks to change form and become metamorphic rocks?
heat and pressure
How can a metomorphic rock become an igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks underground melt to become magma. When a volcano erupts, magma flows out of it. As the lava cools it hardens and becomes igneous rock.
Where and under what conditions are metomorphic rocks formed?
They can be formed just about anywhere but are commonly found near the sites of volcanos or places volcanos were once active. They are formed by other rocks put under heat and pressure.
How are metomorphic rocks changed?
Metamorphic rocks are changed through heat, pressure, and/or fluids altering their mineral structure and texture. This process usually occurs deep within the Earth's crust where temperatures and pressures are high.
When rocks return to the earths mantle they can eventually melt and become magma what are the main factors that control this change?
The main factors that control the melting of rocks and their transformation into magma in the Earth's mantle include temperature, pressure, and the presence of fluids. As rocks descend into the mantle, increasing temperatures can cause them to reach their melting points. Additionally, higher pressures can raise the melting point of rocks, while the introduction of water and other volatiles can lower the melting point, facilitating the melting process. These factors work together to influence the formation of magma from solid rocks in the mantle.
What can cause igneous rock to become soil?
Igneous rocks can become soil through the process of weathering, which involves the physical and chemical breakdown of rocks into smaller particles. This can be caused by factors such as temperature changes, exposure to water, and the actions of plants and organisms. Over time, these weathered particles can mix with organic matter to form soil suitable for plant growth.
What type of factors cause weathering of rocks or landscapes?
Weathering of rocks or landscapes can be caused by physical factors like temperature changes, water, ice, wind, or biological activity such as plant roots. Chemical factors like acid rain or oxidation can also contribute to weathering by breaking down the minerals in the rocks. Together, these factors weaken and break down rocks into smaller particles over time.
