What type of rock forms when heat and pressure change the structure texture or composition of sedimentary rock?
A "metamorphic" rock.
Does Sand forms by Heat Pressure?
No. Sand is a type of sediment. Therefore it is a type of sedimentary rock, and is not formed by heat or pressure.
What rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
What rock results from heat and pressure melting rocks into magma?
Metamorphic rock can result from exposure to heat and/or pressure, but it may take a specific range of temperatures or specific range of pressure to turn a rock into one. Heat and pressure alone does not necessarily create a metamorphic rock from another rock type.
What sequence of change in rock type occurs as shale is subjected to increasing heat and pressure?
shale → slate → phyllite → schist → gneiss
When heat and pressure cause a rock to change what type of rock is formed?
Metamorphic Rocks.
What type of rock forms when heat and pressure change the structure texture or composition of sedimentary rock?
A "metamorphic" rock.
What are the way metamorphic rock Chang?
heat time pressure these can all cause a metamorphic rock to change to another type of rock such as igneous
Which type of rock is the result of increased heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rock
Does Sand forms by Heat Pressure?
No. Sand is a type of sediment. Therefore it is a type of sedimentary rock, and is not formed by heat or pressure.
What rock type can be formed by heat and pressure?
sedimentary
How does one type of rock change into a different type of rock?
It change by Heat,Pressuer,Werthering
What type of rock can change into an igneous rock?
Igneous rocks can change into metamorphic rocks from great heat and pressure as all other rocks can, melt into magma, the molten rock, and erode into sediment, which are rock fragments.
When granite is subjected to high enough amounts of heat and pressure to change it but not melt it granite changes into what type of rock?
It would become metamorphic rock.
When a rock is altered by extreme heat and pressure what type of rock is the results?
Metamorphic Rock
What is different between metamorphism and metasomatism?
Metasomatism is specifically the chemical change of rock by the introduction of hot fluids, creating a different type of rock.Broadly, metamorphism is the change of rock from one type to another by heat and/or pressure.
If shale is subjected to heat and pressure what type of rock dose it form?
a rock
