because the great amount of pressure creates higher density
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.
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.
Metamorphic rocks are formed from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
Greenschist, blueschist, zeolite, granulite and eclogite high grade metamorphic rocks.
Both gneiss and migmatite are late-stage, high grade metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic.
By high pressure and temperature
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.
Metamorphic rock is natural. It is rock that has been changed by exposure to high temperature or high pressure. "Metamorphic" means "changed."
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.
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.
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.
