They can be formed just about anywhere but are commonly found near the sites of volcanos or places volcanos were once active. They are formed by other rocks put under heat and pressure.

Where do metomorphic rocks form?

Metamorphic rocks form deep underground under high pressure and heat conditions, typically within the Earth's crust. They can also form at plate boundaries where tectonic forces cause rocks to be buried and subjected to these extreme conditions.


What happenes during each method to form intrusive igneous rocks?

Igneous rocks are formed under high heat conditions. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed by the crystallization of magma in the Earth's crust.


Are rubies formed in magma?

No, rubies are formed in metamorphic rocks under high pressure and temperature conditions. They are made of the mineral corundum (aluminum oxide) that has been exposed to these conditions, often found in marble deposits.


what kind of rock is formed under clam water conditions near the shore?

Various sedimentary rocks but particularly Limestone and Sandstone.


How are rocks formulated?

Rocks are formed through a process called the rock cycle, which involves three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed from cooled magma or lava, sedimentary rocks are created from the accumulation and compression of sediments, and metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks under intense heat and pressure. The type of rock formed depends on the specific conditions present during its formation.


Can metamorphic rocks turn into diamonds?

Yes, diamonds are formed deep underground under high pressure and temperature conditions. Metamorphic rocks are one of the rock types where diamonds can be formed, typically through the process of metamorphism of carbon-bearing rocks like shale or limestone. However, not all metamorphic rocks can turn into diamonds as specific geological conditions are required for their formation.


What is formed when rocks bend under stress but do not break?

Folds are geologic structures that are formed when rocks bend but do not break.


How is a channel formed by water?

volcanos under water exploded and rocks formed it.


Metamorphic rocks with the same mineral assemblages belong to the same?

metamorphic facies. This indicates that these rocks formed under similar pressure and temperature conditions despite coming from different locations.


What are the three formation of minerals?

There are three different kinds of rocks, depending on how they were formed. Igneous rocks formed when melted rock cooled and hardened. Sedimentary rocks formed in layers from bits of older rocks and parts of animals or plants. These collect in low areas or under water and harden into rocks. Metamorphic rocks formed when either sedimentary, igneous, or earlier formed metamorphic rocks were put under pressure and heat deep in the earth's crust.


What Rocks form under conditions found a few kilometers under earth surface?

Hyperbasal Intrusive Rocks.


Is calcareous tufa a metamorphic rock?

No, calcareous tufa is not a metamorphic rock. It is a sedimentary rock formed from precipitation of calcium carbonate from bodies of water. Metamorphic rocks are formed through the alteration of existing rocks under high temperature and pressure conditions.
