What are two things that could happen to a metamorphic rock to continue the rock cycle?
Metamorphic rocks can melt into magma and then undergo cooling and crystallization to become an igneous rock. Or, they can undergo weathering and erosion into sediments and then lithify to become sedimentary rocks.
+++
They can melt and become magma only if subducted - a process normally confined to the sea-floor plate.
What else can I help you with?
What are some questions about metamorphic rocks that you would like to explore?
Some questions about metamorphic rocks that could be explored include: How do different types of pressure and temperature affect the formation of metamorphic rocks? What are the key minerals found in metamorphic rocks and how do they indicate the rock's history? How do metamorphic rocks differ from igneous and sedimentary rocks in terms of their formation processes and characteristics?
What type of metamorphic rock could be produced from mud?
If the mud has lithified into shale or mudstone, then metamorphosed, the answer would be slate.
What would happen to the rock cycle if erosion didn't happen?
If erosion did not occur, weathered rock material would not be broken down and transported to form new sedimentary layers. This would disrupt the rock cycle by preventing the formation of sedimentary rocks, which play a key role in the cycle's processes of deposition, burial, and lithification. Additionally, lack of erosion would limit the exposure of underlying rocks, hindering the process of uplift and the formation of metamorphic rocks.
Is Amethyst an igneous or metamorphic rock?
Amethyst is a type of mineral from the quartz family, not a rock. Quartz is formed in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary environments, but amethyst specifically is often found in metamorphic rocks.
Is a geode a metamorphic rock?
No, a geode is not a metamorphic rock. Geodes are formed in sedimentary or igneous rocks and are cavities lined with mineral crystals. Metamorphic rocks are formed from existing rocks that undergo a transformation due to heat and pressure.
What are two things that cold happen to a metamorphic rock to continue the rock cycle?
It could be weathered forming sediments, or it could be subducted at a plate margin, melt and form magma.
What are two thing that could happen to metamorphic rock to continue the rock cycle?
Weathering or melt.
What are two things that could happen to a matamorphic rock to continue the rock cycle?
it gets melted into magma, then it is cooled into igneous rock.
How could an igneous rock change to a metamorphic rock?
Under influence of pressure and temperature, a rock can change, the process is called deformation or metamorphism, the result is a metamorphic rock. This can happen to igneous rocks as well.
What would happen if two metiorites crashed into each other?
Well, a number of different things could happen. The meteors could crash in to each other, leave a little bit of debris, then continue going their separate ways. The meteor, if one is bigger than the other, will engulf the other.
