What rock can be changed directly into with the application of heat and pressure?
Sedimentary rock can be changed into metamorphic rock through the application of heat and pressure. This process typically occurs deep within the Earth's crust, where existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures that cause them to recrystallize and form new minerals.
Who is correct a metamorphic rock is formed from a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock can form from an igneous rock?
A metamorphic rock can form from either a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock. When subjected to high heat and pressure, existing rocks can recrystallize and change into new types of rocks, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
Is limestone metamorphic?
No, limestone is a sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of marine shells and sediment. It is not a metamorphic rock, but it can undergo metamorphism to form marble under high pressure and temperature.
Does a rock go through the complete rock cycle by changing from igneous rock to sedimentary to metamorphic?
Yes, it can. However, an igneous rock can change to a metamorphic rock skipping sedimentary: the tectonic plates can push igneous rock deep into the ground, forming metamorphic rock. Sedimentary can form metamorphic, metamorphic can form magma or lava by melting and/or erupting and then turn into igneous. Igneous forms sedimentary with erosion, deposition compaction, and cementation.
What is a changed rock in 2 words?
metamorphic rock
What will form if sedimentary rock melts?
metamorphic rock
What type of rock can only be formed from sedimentary rock or igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock can form from igneous and sedimentary rock. It can also form from previously metamorphosed rock into a higher grade metamorphic rock.
How can sedimentary rock form into a metamorphic rock?
heat and presure

How does sedimentary rock form to metamorphic rock?
Shale (a metamorphic rock) goes through heat and pressure than it turns into slate (a sedimentary rock)
What kind of rock does Igneous rock eventually form?
Sedimentary or metamorphic.
What makes a sedimentary or igneous rock form to a metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure is applied to the rock and it becomes a metamorphic rock.
How does metamorphic form?
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
Which rock type can form directly from the other rock types listed?
Metamorphic rocks can form directly from igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks through the processes of heat and pressure. For example, granite (an igneous rock) can transform into gneiss, while limestone (a sedimentary rock) can change into marble. This transformation process is known as metamorphism, which alters the mineral composition and structure of the original rock.
How Metamorphic rock form?
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
What type of rocks form when when they are turning into metamorphic rock to sedimentary rock?
limestone
