It requires extreme heat and pressure, found in the earth's interior. This rock is eventually exposed at the surface due to uplift and erosion.

What is the Structure of rocks deep in the earth?
There are two types of rock that can form deep within the earth: metamorphic rock and intrusive igneous rock. Metamorphic rock forms from rock that is altered under extreme heat and pressure. Intrusive igneous rock forms from molten rock that cools and solidifies underground. This is opposed to extrusive igneous rock, which forms at the surface after being erupted from a volcano.
What is a rock that forms from other rock due to heat and pressure beneath earths surface?
metamorphic rock
Forms earth's hard surface?
rock
Does granite form at the earth's surface?
No. Granite forms below the surface.
When melted rock cools or hardens in or under earth surface it forms to what?
it forms to a mineral
When magma cools above the earth's surface it forms?
metamorphic rock
What forms beneath earths surface?
The rock that forms on earth's surface is extrusive rock or otherwise known as a metamorphic rock.
Where do Most metamorphic rock forms?
heat and pressure beneath Earth's surface can change a rock into metamorphic rock.
What type of rock forms from heat and pressure beneath earth's surface?
Metamorphic rock
What type of rock forms on earth's surface from pieces of other rock?
Metamorphic in a sentence
What rock forms on the earth's surface?
There are three types of rocks! These include: -Metamorphic -sedimentary -igneous
What forms partly as the result of surface processes?
metamorphic slate
Rock that forms from other rock due to heat and pressure beneath earths surface?
what rock forms from other rock due to heat and pressure under earth's surface
Why does metamorphic rock rarely forms at earth's surface?
All metamorphism (in Geological terms) requires heat, whether it is Thermal or Regional:Thermal is heat only. It happens at the surface mainly. This happens upon contact with an igneous intrusion, and in a burnt margin in an extrusion/unconformity like a lava flow.Regional is both heat and pressure. It happens deep beneath the surface only.
What type of rock forms on earths surface from pieces of other rocks?
Metamorphic in a sentence
Why are metamorphic rocks created deep in earth's crust not on the surface?
Metamorphic rocks rarely form on Earth's surface because it needs an intense amount of heat & pressure to form. Earth's surface doesn't have as much heat as the mantle and the core. It also doesn't have much pressure but gravity.
What type of rock forms from heat and pressure deep in the earth?
Metamorphic rocks
