What rock cycle process is the opposite of crystallization of magma-?
The rock cycle is a model that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes.
What processes found at hot spots will form metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks at hot spots will form mostly by contact and hydrothermal metamorphism as a result of exposure to heat from magma and interaction with hot water respectively.
Can hurricanes be caused by physical processes in the hydrosphere?
No. Although the hydrosphere plays an important role, hurricanes are primarily the result of atmospheric processes.

Where do metamorphic processes take place?
Metamorphic processes or Metamorphism can takes place anywhere, be it above or below the Earths surface, as long as their is a change in the physicochemical (structural and minerological) conditions different from that under which the rocks were originally formed. And this could be as a result of adjustment of solid rocks to increased temperature, pressure and/or chemical activities (chemically active fluids).
What forms partly as the result of surface processes?
metamorphic slate

How collision between continental plates can result in the formation of metamorphic rock?
its funny because im looking for that answer too ._.
Which two processes result in the formation of igneous rocks?
Melting and Solidification
What are four processes that result in the formation of minerals?
The four processes that result in the formation of minerals are: 1. Crystallization from Magma 2. Precipitation 3. Pressure and Temperature 4. Hydrothermal Solutions
Which sequence represent the correct order of processes that result in the formation and development of an embryo?
meiosis...fertilization...mitosis

Will the erosion on a mountain range that was pushed up as a result of two continental plates colliding lead to the formation of igneous rock metamorphic rock sedimentary rock or magma?
Erosion would most likely lead to deposition, compaction, and cementation, processes involved in the creation of sedimentary rock.
Which two processes could result in the formation of high mountains with well-rounded peaks?
erosion don't you know

When a rock is altered by extreme heat and pressure what type of rock is the result?
Gneiss would be one such rock. High-grade metamorphic rock describes the type of rock based on the formational parameters of the question.
