What does the asthenosphere contain?
The asthenosphere contains ultramafic rock that is ductile due to the extreme heat and pressure it experiences.
What two forces are needed to create a metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from igneous, sedimentary and older metamorphic rocks that are introduced to extreme temperature and pressure. Because of the extreme temperature and pressure, rocks go through a significant chemical or physical change, turing them into metamorphic rocks.
