What order is the rock cycle in?
First magma then there is heat and pressure which makes igneous rock then compaction, deposition, and cementation that makes sedimentary rock then more heat and pressure but not enough heat and pressure to melt it but enough to change it to metamorphic rock! and there you have it it's The Rock Cycle
Can metamorphic rock change into metamorphic rock?
Many ways, really. For example, a continental plate may be submerging underneath another continental plate (a boundary interaction often associated with volcanoes), and in the process, that continental plate that is being submerged, often the ocean floor, changes into metamorphic rock, and if subjected to enough pressure and heat, may become igneous. Or, if two continental plates collide where one plate used to be ocean floor, such as with the Himalayan Mountains, the two plates would jam together. In between these plates, there may be enough heat and pressure to change the sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock.
What is a type of rock formed by pressure on large masses of rock?
Metamorphic rocks are buried deep inside Earth. There is enough heat and pressure to change the rocks, but not enough to melt it into magma. Metamorphic rocks can form adjacent to layers of magma, because of the generated heat, however
If the pressure at the bottom of the ocean is so great why doesn't it generate heat?
because water (in massive amounts) is heavy
If you performed a melting point on the same compound in san francisco and on top of mt Everest would the results differ?
In short, yes! The melting point of a substance will change based on the air pressure as well as the temperature. In fact, though very unlikely, it's possible for a liquid to solidify if the pressure drops enough and it's cold enough, or if it's warm enough for the liquid to evaporate.
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.
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.
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.
What does marble metemorphosize from?
Limestone/chalk. Limestone has been subjected to heat and/or pressure, it metamorposes into marble. Both limestone and marble are calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Its just that the internal physical structure of limestone is altered.
What condition is needed for a solid to change into gas?
For a solid to change into a gas, the conditions needed are high enough heat and low enough air pressure.
How do rocks get hot enough to change?
the heat put so much pressure on the rocks that it gets so hot to change colour
Does a fall in pulse rate affect the pressure?
Do you mean blood pressure? Yes it does like for example when you do drugs or something

What is the meaning of a fountain pen overflows when you board an aeroplane?
There was a change in pressure within the cabin. The pen's ink compartment was at higher pressure pressure when you boarded, but the cabin pressure must have decreased enough at altitude to cause the pen to leak.
The change oil light comes on and the truck just had an oil change what could be the problem?
Not enough oil was replaced. If this is not the case then oil pressure may be low.
