How does heat in the form of friction and pressure affect the rock cycle?

The heat (in the form of friction and pressure) affects the rock by performing a process called menstrual which changes the material of the rock, but not the mass.


What changes igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?

Igneous or sedimentary rocks are transformed into metamorphic rocks through high pressure, temperature, or both. This process, known as metamorphism, occurs deep within the Earth's crust where rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, causing their mineral composition and texture to change without melting.


How does metamorphic form?

Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
