If granite were subjected to intense heat and pressure it would likely change to?
gneiss
What happens to granite if you put it under heat and pressure?
With With enough heat and pressure, granite will become gneiss so long as it is not hot enough to melt the granite.
When granite is subjected to high enough amounts of heat and pressure to change it but not melt it granite changes into what type of rock?
It would become metamorphic rock.
If granite were subjected to intense heat and pressure it would most likely change to?
If enough heat and pressure is applied (40000 to 60000 times atmospheric pressure and 900 to 1300 degrees Celsius), granite or any other allotrope of carbon can be turned into diamond.
Put some heat and pressure on granite and you'll get?
Gneiss, if the heat and pressure are sufficient.
What rock comes after granite Is subjected to enough heat and pressure in the rock cycle?
When granite is subjected to enough heat and pressure, it becomes a metamorphic rock called gneiss.
If granite were subjected to intense heat and pressure it would likely change to?
gneiss
What happens to granite if you put it under heat and pressure?
With With enough heat and pressure, granite will become gneiss so long as it is not hot enough to melt the granite.
How can granite change into metamorphic without changing into sedimentary?
Granite becomes metamorphic by being subjected to immense heat and pressure, turning into gneiss.
When granite is subjected to high enough amounts of heat and pressure to change it but not melt it granite changes into what type of rock?
It would become metamorphic rock.
What happens to a old rusty piece of granite?
It gets weathered into sediment or it could be subjected to heat and pressure and become a metamorphic rock, or it could melt into magma and cool into an igneous rock.
If granite were subjected to intense heat and pressure it would most likely change to?
If enough heat and pressure is applied (40000 to 60000 times atmospheric pressure and 900 to 1300 degrees Celsius), granite or any other allotrope of carbon can be turned into diamond.
What does granite rock turn into after heat and pressure?
Granite will become gneiss.
Put some heat and pressure on granite and you'll get?
Gneiss, if the heat and pressure are sufficient.
What metamorphic rock does granite turn into after heat and pressure?
Granite will become gneiss.
How does Granite turn to gneiss?
by adding heat and pressure
Which type of change takes place when granite turns into gneiss?
Granite does not turn into limestone. Granite is an igneous rock originating from volcanic activity. Limestone is a sedimentary rock laid down in the oceans millions of years ago. Limestone does turn into marble when subjected to huge pressures and heat. It is found areas with a lot of seismic activity like Itlay and Turkey.
