What else can I help you with?
Can metamorphic rock form out of other metamorphic rock?
No.
Why does metamorphic rock often form deep within earths crust?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks which have been changed by heat an pressure. The deeper you go within the earth, the more heat and pressure there is, which is why metamorphic rocks form there.
What type of rock means changed form?
Metamorphic rock is a type of rock that has been changed from its original form through heat, pressure, or chemical processes. This transformation often occurs deep within the Earth's crust. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and gneiss.
Who is correct a metamorphic rock is formed from a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock can form from an igneous rock?
A metamorphic rock can form from either a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock. When subjected to high heat and pressure, existing rocks can recrystallize and change into new types of rocks, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
What does sediment form into when it falls to the sea bed?
when sediment falls into the sea it forms into sedimentary rock which then turns into metamorphic rock and back again it comes from the volcanoes it plays a major role in the rock cycle
Can heat form an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?
metamorphic because it melts the rock and forms another
What rock is melted by heat and pressure?
Magma is rock that useally comes from a volcana it melts due to the high pressure and heat
Can sedimentary rock form directly from metamorphic rock?
Yes, sedimentary rock can form from metamorphic rock through a process called retrograde metamorphism. In this process, metamorphic rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion to form sediment, which can then be compacted and cemented to form new sedimentary rock.
What makes a sedimentary or igneous rock form to a metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure is applied to the rock and it becomes a metamorphic rock.
What has to increase for metamorphic rock to occur?
You need to increase heat and / or pressure for a metamorphic rock to form.
Where is the metamorphic rock located?
under ground, where it gets compacted and squeezed to form metamorphic rock.
Where is metamorphic rock located?
under ground, where it gets compacted and squeezed to form metamorphic rock.
