Where is energy source found that drives the processes that form igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Mantle convection
What will determine if a rock becomes an igneous or metamorphic rock?
Geological processes form rocks. Igneous rocks are made from magmas. Metamorphic rocks are made by changing the physical environment of a previously existing rock.
What processes found at hot spots will form metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks at hot spots will form mostly by contact and hydrothermal metamorphism as a result of exposure to heat from magma and interaction with hot water respectively.
What energy source drives the processes that form igneous and metamorphic rocks is found in?
earth's interior
What materials form Metamorphic Rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from materials of pre-existing rocks of any form due to mainly increase in temperature, pressure and stress.
What do metamorphic rocks form from?
nonliving processes of heating and pressurization.
Where is energy source that drives the processes that form igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Mantle convection
The relationship among igneous... metamorphic... and sedimentary rocks and the processes that form them are shown by the WHAT?
The rock cycle.

What will determine if a rock becomes an igneous or metamorphic rock?
Geological processes form rocks. Igneous rocks are made from magmas. Metamorphic rocks are made by changing the physical environment of a previously existing rock.
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
What processes found at hot spots will form metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks at hot spots will form mostly by contact and hydrothermal metamorphism as a result of exposure to heat from magma and interaction with hot water respectively.
Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Why are metamorphic rocks different from igneous and sedimentary rocks?
The metamorphic processes of heat and pressure can alter the parent rock (sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic) chemically or structurally into a form of rock that can only be created under certain conditions. Metamorphic rocks are not created from sedimentation and lithification or from molten material.
What energy source drives the processes that form igneous and metamorphic rocks is found in?
earth's interior
Does brick turn into a metamorphic rock when its melted?
No. Metamorphic rock froms from processes that take place in the solid state. Rocks that form from molten material are igneous.
