Which metamorphic rock is formed from marble?
Limestone is typically the product of accumulated decomposed marine life as it settles to the bottom of a body of water.This sedimentary rock, laid down in earlier geological ages, is the starting material for marble.When limestone is exposed to geological pressure and heat, it changes (metamorphosizes) into marble.The metamorphic stone known as marble is highly alkaline, like limestone, but is far less porous (permeable), and much denser and harder.Marble quarries are areas of the earth that were once sea bottoms, then were exposed, through tectonic plate activity, to great heat and pressure.
What type of rock is formed by putting limestone under heat and pressure?
By the metamorphosis of limestone, marble is formed. By the thermal decomposition of limestone, quicklime is formed. Which process depends on the temperature and pressure.
How can igneous rock change?
An igneous rock, just like any other rock, can be changed through metamorphic, igneous, and/or sedimentary processes. When exposed to high temp. and pressure, igneous becomes metamorphic. When re-melted, it becomes igneous again. When weathered/eroded, it becomes sedimentary.
Which forms when exposed to extreme temperatures pressure?
The type of rock formed when exposed to extreme temperatures and pressure is metamorphic rock.
When shale is exposed to heat and pressure this metamorphic rock is formed?
gneiss
How would Sedimentary rock turn to metamorphic?
Sedimentary rock that is exposed to heat and pressure will be changed to (metamophised) into metamorphic rock. This is often associated with volcanic activity. An example is limestone, when exposed to the pressure and heat can be changed to marble.

Which type of rock is marble made of?
Marble is a metamorphic rock type form. Marble is used as a building material and as sculpture material also.
What rock is formed when sandstone is exposed to heat and pressure?
Igneous rocks-after having the chance to cool down after a melt (metamorphic rocks need pressure as well)
What factor can affect the texture of metamorphic rock?
The pressure and tempeture a rock was exposed to
What is an example of the metamorphic process of rock sandstone that is broken up into small pieces shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate?
Shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate is an example of the metamorphic process.
