What are 2 things that can change rocks to other types of rocks?
There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and composites. Igneous rocks are formed when sedimentary or composite rocks experience extremes of heat and pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed when smaller particles are overlaid for extended periods of time. Composite rocks are formed a mixture of elements under pressure.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
