Proximity to a magmatic intrusion will cause metamorphosis in the country rock due to heat or hot fluids.
A metamorphic rock changes from one form to another by intense heat or pressue. The parent rock, or protolith, is the rock that undergoes change. It can be any rock type, sedimentary, igneous, and even metamorphic.
Magma is rock that useally comes from a volcana it melts due to the high pressure and heat
The rock would transform into a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed due to high heat and pressure without melting completely. Examples include marble, slate, and quartzite.
Igneous or sedimentary rocks are transformed into metamorphic rocks through high pressure, temperature, or both. This process, known as metamorphism, occurs deep within the Earth's crust where rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, causing their mineral composition and texture to change without melting.
Yes, changes in rocks due to heat and pressure can result in the formation of metamorphic rocks. These changes can cause the minerals within the rock to recrystallize, realign, and form new mineral structures, giving rise to metamorphic rocks with distinct textures and compositions.
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
heat and pressure
To change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock, you change it by time,heat, and pressure.
metamorphic
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
heat and pressure
A sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock when there is heat, pressure, and time. -over a long period of time
A "metamorphic" rock forms.
you expose the rock to extreme heat or pressure such that the rock changes.
The heat comes from Earth's interior, which is always hot.
metamorphic rocks are formed from sandstone
