Surely, this is a question to homework... Yes?
Well... I'm not quite sure myself, but I believe a new element is formed.

What is a parent isotope?
These terms apply to the decay of radionuclides. The parent isotope is 'the starting point' of a decay series that when it decays, by giving off radiation, changes into another element, or isotope of the original element (the daughter isotope). For example: When Uranium 238 (parent isotope) decays and gives off an alpha particle, it transmutes into Thorium 234 (the daughter isotope).
What new kind of rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subject to heat and pressure?
Metamorphic, I believe. ^_^
How can sedimentary rock be changed into a new sedimentary rock?
When a sedimentary rock is weathered or eroded, it becomes sediments, or small pieces of rock. Then the sediments are compacted together and they are formed into a new sedimentary rock. I hope my answer was helpful to you.
How are rocks classified into one of these three groups?
Rocks are classified into three groups based on how they are formed. Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and crystallizes. Sedimentary rock is formed when the products of weathering and erosion are compacted and cemented to form new rock. Metamorphic rock is formed when existing rock is changed by heat, pressure or chemical change into a new kind of rock.
How is new crust continually being formed?
new crust is always being formed by magma erupting from volcanoes and then cooling into rock making new crust. -Jacob Halon
When an isotope in the rock decays a new formed?
element
When an isotope in the rock decays a new what formed?
element
When an isotope in the rock decays a new is formed?
Surely, this is a question to homework... Yes? Well... I'm not quite sure myself, but I believe a new element is formed.
Neptunium's only naturally occurring isotope 237 93Np decays by emitting one alpha particle one beta particle and one gamma ray What is the new atom formed from this decay?
Neptunium 237 is not a natural occurring isotope; all the isotopes of neptunium are artificially obtained. The new isotope formed by decay of Np 237 is protactinium 233.
What new atom is formed as tritium decays?
Tritium decay to helium-3.
What is a parent isotope?
These terms apply to the decay of radionuclides. The parent isotope is 'the starting point' of a decay series that when it decays, by giving off radiation, changes into another element, or isotope of the original element (the daughter isotope). For example: When Uranium 238 (parent isotope) decays and gives off an alpha particle, it transmutes into Thorium 234 (the daughter isotope).
What new element is then created by a single beta decay of this isotope 239U?
Uranium-239 decays by beta- decay to neptunium-239.
How can scientist determine whether the nucleus formed is that of new element or that of new isotope of known element?
They can tell whether the nucleus formed is that of a new element or that of an isotope by determining the number of protons inside the nucleus. If the number of protons are different, then it is a different element (not necessarily new). If the number of protons are the same, then it is an isotope.
Scientists determine whether the atoms are formed are a new element or a new isotope or a element?
because they are mad
How is the rock medimorfic rock formed?
Metamorphic rocks are formed when heat and presser shape an old rock into a new rock
Why is rock formed at th ridges called new rock?
Since the rock just came up and cooled, it's "new oceanic rock." Because... it's new rock. It's the youngest rock. It just came out of the ground and cooled, making it rock. Or Because new crust is being formed while the old crust is being pushed away.
What process is a rock undergoing when the new environment is different from the one in which the rock was formed?
Metamorphism
