What kind of rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure?
obsidion
What foliated metamorphic rock forms when the sedimentary rock shale is subjected to relatively low temperatures and pressure?
slate
What forces cause rocks to change from one type to another?
Magma subjected to cooling becomes igneous rock. Igneous rock then is subjected to weathering and erosion forming sediment which becomes compacted and cemented as sedimentary rock. Both sedimentary rock as well as Igneous rock when subjected ti heat and pressure become Metamorphic rock. This cycle goes on and on and is called the rock cycle.
If the sedimentary rock limestone is subjected to metamorphism what metamorphic rock will likely form?
Limestone can metamorphose into marble, a regional metamorphic rock, or into skarn, a contact metamorphic rock.
How can an igneous or metamorphic rock change into a sedimentary rock?
A sedimentary rock can change from that to a metamorphic rock then into an Igneous rock. e.g. Mudstone (sedimentary) is in the Zone of Diagenesis, when it is subjected to regional metamorphism (in mountain belts) it changes from a mudstone to a slate (low grade) then to a Phillite (medium grade) then a Schist (medium) then a gneiss (high grade) then into a Milonite (high grade) then once past the line of partial melting it has so much pressure and so much temperature that it turns into an Igneos rock. This is the basic explanation of this. If you want to know more, just ask me.Sedimentary rocks are changed into metamorphic by being buried deep enough that the heat and pressure alter their text, mineralogy, or other characteristics.
What impact does dead batteries have on the environment?
It could explode if subjected to high temperature and product poisonous materials that is harmful to live beings.
What kind of rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure?
obsidion
What new kind of rock is formed when sedimentary rock-is subjected to heat and pressure?
Metamorphic, I believe. ^_^
What new kind of rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected of heat and pressure?
Metamorphic, I believe. ^_^
How does a uplift to the Earth's surface make sedimentary rock?
The uplifted surface is then subjected to weathering and erosion, resulting in the deposition, compaction, and cementation of sediments which creates sedimentary rock.
What is metamorphic shale?
The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
What foliated metamorphic rock forms when the sedimentary rock shale is subjected to relatively low temperatures and pressure?
slate
What forces cause rocks to change from one type to another?

Both sedimentary rock as well as Igneous rock when subjected ti heat and pressure become Metamorphic rock. This cycle goes on and on and is called the rock cycle.
How do heat and pressure change sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
At what temperature does h20 melt?
well it freezes at 0c or 32f so it will melt if subjected to a higher temperature
When igneous rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure they become what type o rock?
A sedimentary rock is formed when an igneous rock is subjected to weathering, erosion, compaction, and cementation!
How can granite change into metamorphic without changing into sedimentary?
Granite becomes metamorphic by being subjected to immense heat and pressure, turning into gneiss.
