When granite is changed by heat and pressure it becomes what metamorphic rock?
gneiss
How could granite become a metamorphic rock?
Metamorphisism (heat and pressure)
When shale is exposed to heat and pressure this metamorphic rock is formed?
gneiss
When limestone is exposed to intense heat and pressure it becomes what metamorphic rock?
Marble.
Can a sedimentary rock be a igneous rock when exposed to heat and pressure?
Usually it is metamorphic rocks that are formed by heat and pressure, but sedimentary rocks can too. Usually, the word 'sedimentary' means 'of sediments' which means that it is composed of lots of layers upon layers compacting down. In that case, pressure is essential, but heat isn't always needed.
What will happen if a sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure?
It would undergo metamorphism, if the heat and pressure are sufficient.
If granite were subjected to intense heat and pressure it would likely change to?
gneiss
What happens to granite if you put it under heat and pressure?
With With enough heat and pressure, granite will become gneiss so long as it is not hot enough to melt the granite.
What does granite rock turn into after heat and pressure?
Granite will become gneiss.
Put some heat and pressure on granite and you'll get?
Gneiss, if the heat and pressure are sufficient.
What metamorphic rock does granite turn into after heat and pressure?
Granite will become gneiss.
If granite were subjected to intense heat and pressure it would most likely change to?
If enough heat and pressure is applied (40000 to 60000 times atmospheric pressure and 900 to 1300 degrees Celsius), granite or any other allotrope of carbon can be turned into diamond.
When granite is subjected to high enough amounts of heat and pressure to change it but not melt it granite changes into what type of rock?
It would become metamorphic rock.
How does granite form into gniess?
Granite must be exposed to tremendous heat and pressures in order to transform into the metamorphic rock gneiss.
How does Granite turn to gneiss?
by adding heat and pressure
What rock comes after granite Is subjected to enough heat and pressure in the rock cycle?
When granite is subjected to enough heat and pressure, it becomes a metamorphic rock called gneiss.
How does the rock granite change to the rock gneiss?
Heat and pressure
