Can lava melt rock in the mountain?
Underground molten rock, called magma, does melt some of the surrounding rock.
Explain why chocolate melt but rock does not?
Chocolate can melt faster, because chocolate less force on them. and the other hand the rock has more force holding it's particles together so that means that the chocolate can melt faster than the rock. by the way the rock can melt, but it needs a high temp.
What type of rock forms from a melt by crystallization?
igneous rocks- rocks that are formed from melted minerals. ore-a rock that has a large amount of minerals.
What rock is formed when sandstone is exposed to heat and pressure?
Igneous rocks-after having the chance to cool down after a melt (metamorphic rocks need pressure as well)
Some rocks are pushed deeper into the Earth. As these rocks experience greater heat and pressure, what type of rock will they turn into if they do not melt?
Metamorphic
If sedimentary rock melt and then cool they can form what type of rock?
Igneous rock.
How hot does it have to be to melt rock?
That would all depend on what type of rock.
What type of rock is a meteorite?
A meteorite is an extraterrestrial rock formed from melt. An igneous rock.
What type of salt is preferred to melt ice?
Rock salt
A rock body is exposed to large amounts of heat and pressure but does not melt and changes into a new type of rock. What is the new type of rock?
A metamorphic rock.
When a rock is altered by extreme heat and pressure what type of rock is the result?
Gneiss would be one such rock. High-grade metamorphic rock describes the type of rock based on the formational parameters of the question.
What type of rock does lava turn into if it doesnt melt?
Lava IS molten rock therefore your question is meaningless.
How does metamorphic rock turn into another type of rock?
It can be worn down to create sediments that become seidmentary rock, or it can melt and harden to form igneous rock.
When rocks experience greater heat and pressure what type of rock will they turn into if they do not melt?
metamorphic
Rocks experience Greater heat and pressure what type of rock will they turn into if they do not melt?
metamorphic
What part do volcanooes play in the rock cycle?
Volcanoes melt the rock and eventually erupt. Once it erupted the rock starts to setal and cool into a certain type of rock
Which type of rocks can turn into an igneous rock through the rock cycle?
A metamorphic rock can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Or, a sedimentary rock (or sediments) can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Also, an igneous rock itself can undergo this process of melting and cooling as well.
