Metamorphic rock can be formed from sedimentary rocks by the activity of?

Metamorphic rock can be formed from sedimentary rocks through the activity of heat and pressure. The intense heat and pressure cause the minerals in the sedimentary rocks to recrystallize, resulting in a new, more compact rock with different properties.


What is needed for any kind of rock to become metamorphic?

Heat, for sure, and most often a combination of heat and pressure is needed for metamorphic rock creation.


How does pressure help make metamorphic rocks?

pressure helps the metamorphic with the high temprature or pressure


What type of rocks can become metamorphic?

All rock types can be changed through metamorphism.


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 Sedimentary rocks is converted into metamorphic rock with the addition of?

Sedimentary rock is converted into metamorphic rock with exposure to heat, pressure, heated mineral solutions, or a combination of any of them.


What rock is formed when existing rock is altered by conditions of extreme pressure and temperature?

Metamorphic rock is formed when existing rock is altered by conditions of extreme pressure and temperature. This alteration can occur deep within the Earth's crust or during tectonic activity. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.


What is rock that is changed by heat pressure or chemical change?

Metamorphic rocks have been changed by heat or pressure. This can be a change in size, shape, or arrangement of minerals.


How do heat and pressure change sedimentary rock?

A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!


How can a rock be transformed into a metamorphic rock?

Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.


Is metamorphic rock the rock of heat and pressure?

The rock that gets heat+pressure to turn into a metamorphic rock.
