What happens to rocks that are pushed under earth's surface and become hotter and experience more pressure?

They become exposed to deformation in a process called metamorphism, and become metamorphic rocks.

What happens when low pressure meets low pressure air?
It may become a high pressure area bacause of the mixed ability to become a strong sorm/typhoon.
What happens As you travel from the surface of the earth up through the atmosphere into outer space the gases become?
less denser
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 is folding different from tilting?
Folding happens when rock layers bend and buckle under pressure. Tilting happens when forces from inside Earth cause rock layers to become slanted.
What happens to the atmosphere as sea level increases?
As the sea level increases, the atmospheric pressure also increases. Due to the increase in pressure, Gamma radiation (solar heat) gets trapped in the atmosphere after it bounces off Earth's surface. The more radiation that stays in the atmosphere, the warmer our global climate becomes. This will cause more polar ice to melt, sea levels to rise, and more heat to become trapped.

What happens to temperature when water evaporates off a surface?
This surface become colder.
What happens when low pressure meets low pressure air?
It may become a high pressure area bacause of the mixed ability to become a strong sorm/typhoon.
When molecules from below the surface of a liquid become a gaswhat is happening?
Boiling - the vapor pressure exceeds atmospheric PLUS the pressure of the depth of the liquid.
Can crystallines liquefy under pressure?
Crystallines can liquefy under pressure if it is sufficiently high. Generally the opposite happens where they become more dense and compressed as the pressure increases.
Why vapour pressure is independent of the amount of liquid and surface area of liquid?
rate of evaporation become equal to rate of condensation

What happens to people's blood pressure as they age?
Many people will develop high blood pressure as they age. Blood vessels become clogged by cholesterol, and in a narrow blood vessel, the pressure will be higher.
What happens to a bare foot when it touches Mars surface?
It would probably simply become covered in martian dust, the problem is you'd never be able to experience the surface since the average temperature on Mars (not counting the poles) is around -81 degrees Fahrenheit & skin freezes almost instantly at around -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
What Materials in the core of a supernova?
A supernova happens when most of the core of the collapsing star has become neutrons, held up against gravity by neutron degeneracy pressure. At this point a shockwave reflects from the neutron star surface, driving the supernova explosion.So the answer to your question is neutrons.
The sub polar low polar front is?
Sub polar low pressure zone happens due to circular shape of earth. The dense , tightly packed air of polar high pressure zone drags southward in Northern Hemisphere at the surface. As they move, they find themselves in a region which is constantly increasing in surface area. Hence they become lighter and starts to spread. This results in a lighter air mass near 50 to 70 degrees N or S forming the low pressure zone. Also as the sun's rays become less oblique in this region, there is more heat generated at the surface making the wind lighter and consequently rise up. Shirin
