Does a rock need to be weathered before it can become a metamorphic rock?
No. Metamorphic rock are simply rocks which have been altered by heat and pressure.
Is the force that squeezes rocks together.?
compression
How does rock's form?
Rock forms through three processes. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compression of sediment. Igneous rocks are formed when magma crystallizes after melting. Metamorphic rocks are sedimentary and igneous rocks that have been subjected to pressure and heat .
When sediments are squeezed together due to pressure what is that called?
The squeezing together of rocks by stress is called compression.
What are metamorphic rocks in which the long axes of their minerals are perpendicular to the pressure that altered them described as?
foliated rocks
