What is the process called where igneous sedimentary or metamorphic rocks are changed by heat or pressure?
Your question contains part of the answer, 'metamorphic' rocks are the product of this process and the process is called Metamorphism - the solid-state recrystallization of pre-existing rocks as a result of changes in heat, pressure, and/or introduction of fluids.
When sedimentary rock is buried what happens?
Nothing, possibly. Metamorphism of sedimentary rock may be dependent on depth of burial, directed pressure, or exposure to high temperatures or hot fluids.
Do fluids like air tend to move toward areas of high or low pressure?
Fluids tend to move toward low pressure areas.
What are two agents of metamorphism?
Heat, Pressure, and Chemically active fluids.
The primary agent of contact metamorphism is?
The primary agent of contact metamorphism is heat. Pressure and chemically active fluids are also very important in this process.

Match the type of metamorphism to its best definition.?
Contact metamorphism - the process in which a rock changes as a result of heat generated from magma Dynamic metamorphism- the process in which a rock changes due to pressure directed onto it impact metamorphism - the process in which a rock changes because of extreme heat and pressure caused by a meteorite collision with earth regional metamorphism- the process in which buried rocks in a large area are changed by heat pressure and fluids

Fluids create high or low pressure?
fluids create low pressure.
How do fluids move through a pressure difference?
Fluids flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
When sedimentary rock is buried what happens?
Nothing, possibly. Metamorphism of sedimentary rock may be dependent on depth of burial, directed pressure, or exposure to high temperatures or hot fluids.
How do fluids exert pressure on a container?
Fluids are constantly trying to spread out, and that exerts pressure on the container you put it in.
Which process squeezes fluids from between individual grains?
Erosion is the process that squeezes fluids between individual grains. This is known as a long process.
Fluids like air tend to move toward areas of high pressure?
No. Fluids move away from areas of high pressure and toward areas of low pressure.
Why are you not crushed under atmospheric pressure?
The fluids in your body exert pressure and prevent the atmospheric pressure from closing in. Fluids exert pressure on a container the particles collide with each other and the sides of the container.
Why you are not crushed by atomspheric pressure?
The fluids in your body also exert pressure.
What rock changed by heat pressure and fluids?
Sedimentary rocks when altered by heat and pressure because metamorphic rock. But please read the rock cycle you will see the different stages because Igneous can also become Metamorphic with intense pressure and heat.
