No it does not. They can only be converted from Sedimentary to Metamorphic be heat and pressure. Metamorphic can also convert to different higher great as the temperature and pressure increases. examsples are schist to gneiss.

∙ 6y agoThe chemical components of a rock become more mobile at higher temperatures, even if the rock does not melt. This makes it easier for minerals to recrystallize. It can also lead to the formation of new minerals that are stable at high temperatures. Additionally, hot rocks are softer than cold rocks, and so will more easily undergo ductile deformation.

depends on the game but if its an intense game like call of duty then it can if you play it 24/7
Why are arteries muscular?
Arteries have to endure a much higher pressure, but the muscle wall surrounding the arteries are actually there to constrict and relax to help regulate blood pressure. Since blood pressure is one of your more important functions, the arteries are constantly constricting and relaxing to keep you BP at a reasonable level. They also play a role in blood shunting during your fight or flight response, but that tends to deal more with capillaries.In short the smooth muslce lining your arteries have various functions, but the key functions to their existence are :1.) Dealing with the higher pressure and not bursting by causing reinforcement to the pressure.2.) To constrict and diulate in order to help regulate blood pressure.There are other reasons for this but most fringe more on the molecular level or deal with secondary messengers, G proteins.

What roles does water play in cave formation?
Chemical weathering, esp. in carbonate rocks, aided to some extent as the conduit develops by mechanical erosion by the stream.
What are the two main types of forces that help build a tornado?
Of true forces, pressure gradient force and buoyancy force play important roles in the formation of tornadoes.
What role does heat play in creating new minerals or new crystalline structures in metamorphic rocks?
The heat comes from magma that is deep inside the earth, sedimentery rock is heated and squashed into metamorphic rock.
What role does magma play in the rock cycle?
Volcanoes effect rock formations a lot, since magma is molten rock, when it cools down and sets, it will turn back into rock, usually it will dry and turn black, but sometimes it can turn a dark grey. It will cover up other rocks, and make new rocks.
