When there is no weathering. When there there are no intrusions of magma beneath rock no metamorphic rock will form. But, this is impossible as the Earth atmosphere and interior forces are so dynamic. Over time all rocks will undergo some kind of change.
A metamorphic rock can form from either a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock. When subjected to high heat and pressure, existing rocks can recrystallize and change into new types of rocks, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
Yes sedimentary rocks form from erosion, consolidation, and cementation of old rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from changes to an existing rock through a mineralogical change within brought on primarily by heat and to some extent by pressure.
The two processes in the rock cycle that must occur in order to change any rock into an igneous rock are melting (to form magma) and solidification (to form igneous rock). Melting of existing rocks due to high temperatures or pressure creates molten magma, which can then cool and solidify to form new igneous rocks.
What is the narrow tube-like body of intrusive igneous rock that cuts across existing rock calle
Metamorphic rock can form deep underground under high pressure and temperature conditions. This type of rock is typically found in the lower parts of Earth's crust and upper mantle where intense heat and pressure can change the structure of existing rocks.
yes
Metamorphic rock is the result of the transformation of an existing rock type, the protolith, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form".
METAMORPHISM.
metamorphic rock
Heat.
A metamorphic rock is a rock that is changed from an already existing form of rock by pressure or temperature

All the three existing rock families/types/classes (ie, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks) can form magma, if they become hot enough to melt and change to molten form.
If existing bits of rock become attached through the process of lithification, a clastic sedimentary rock is formed.

morpheus rock is formed i think
