Which type of rocks are produced from other type of rocks under high temperature and pressure?

Metamorphic rocks are produced from other types of rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or existing metamorphic rocks) under high temperature and pressure conditions. The existing rocks undergo changes in mineral composition and texture without melting. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, schist, and gneiss.


What rocks are formed from high temperature and pressures?

Rocks formed from high temperature and pressure include metamorphic rocks such as marble, schist, and gneiss. These rocks are created deep within the Earth's crust through the transformation of existing rock types under intense heat and pressure conditions.


Which type of rocks are produced from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure?

Metamorphic rocks are formed from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.


What can metamorphic rocks change into?

Greenschist, blueschist, zeolite, granulite and eclogite high grade metamorphic rocks.


How are igneous and metamorphic rocks related?

Both gneiss and migmatite are late-stage, high grade metamorphic rocks.


What rocks are changed by high tempuratures and high pressure?

Metamorphic.


How are igneous rocks changed to metamorphic rocks?

By high pressure and temperature


How are Metamorphic rocks created?

Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.


Is metamorphic rocks not natural?

Metamorphic rock is natural. It is rock that has been changed by exposure to high temperature or high pressure. "Metamorphic" means "changed."


Can metamorphic rocks from from other metamorphic rocks?

Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.


Rocks made when other rocks are subjected to intense pressure and heat?

Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes the minerals in the original rocks to recrystallize into new forms, resulting in metamorphic rocks like marble, slate, and gneiss.


How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?

Igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks by being subjected to high heat and pressure, causing recrystallization of minerals. Igneous rocks can also weather and erode to form sediment, which can then be deposited, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.
