What type of rocks can undergo metamorphism?
All rocks can undergo metamorphism; sedimentary, igneous, and even metamorphic rocks.
When rocks stack up on each other what type of metamorphism can occur?
Regional metamorphism can occur.
Are rocks changed by metamorphism less dense?
That depends on the rock and the type of metamorphism is underwent. Some rocks become more dense, some become less.
In which type of rock metamorphism is heat the dominant factor?
They would be referred to as contact metamorphic rocks.
Geologist classify rocks according to their?
They classify metamorphic rocks according to their parent rock or protolith.
Which type of metamorphosis makes non-foliated rocks?
Contact metamorphism does not often produce the foliation caused by regional metamorphism
What is the most common type of metamorphism?
The most common type of land metamorphism is Regional metamorphism. The most common rocks are slates, schists, and gneisses. This occurs within the folds of mountain belts and cratonic areas.
What is the process called when rocks change to another type?
The process is referred to as metamorphism.
What type of rocks can become metamorphic?

dynamic
When rocks grind and squeeze past each other what type of metamorphism can occur?
dynamic
On on what basis can metamorphic rocks be identified?
Metamorphic rocks can be identified if the rock is foliated or nonfoliated, foliating type, type of metamorphism (contact/regional), and by probable original rock. :)
