When heat and pressure is applied to sedimentary rock it changes into what?
Diamond
Is this true or false sedimentary rocks can be turned into metamorphic rocks when heat and pressure is applied?
that is definitely true!
What happens to sandstone when heat and pressure are applied?
It becomes metamorphic rock
What must happen to sediments before they become sedimentary rocks?
They must undergo deposition then have heat and pressure applied. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the actions of chemical or mechanical processes.
What will happen if a sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure?
It would undergo metamorphism, if the heat and pressure are sufficient.
When heat and pressure is applied to sedimentary rock it changes into what?
Diamond
What causes fracturing of sedimentary rocks?
Any force applied on it, erosion, pressure and heat from underground.
What does sedimentary limestone turn into when heat and pressure is applied?
Marble, an intermediate grade metamorphic rock.
Is this true or false sedimentary rocks can be turned into metamorphic rocks when heat and pressure is applied?
that is definitely true!
What 2 things are applied to igneous or sedimentary rocks that make metamorphic rocks form?
Heat and pressure!!
What does a sedimentary rock before it can turn into a metamorphic rock?
Not sure what you are trying to ask. Sedimentary rocks form from sediments, but can be metamorphosed only by applied heat &/or pressure.
What happens to sandstone when heat and pressure are applied?
It becomes metamorphic rock
What makes a sedimentary or igneous rock form to a metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure is applied to the rock and it becomes a metamorphic rock.
What happens to sediments after a million years?
It would form a Sedimentary Rock from heat and pressure after a millions of years.
What must happen to sediments before they become sedimentary rocks?
They must undergo deposition then have heat and pressure applied. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the actions of chemical or mechanical processes.
What is sedimentary rock formed by deposit of shale?
Slate is the metamorphic rock, formed from regional (heat and pressure applied) metamorphism on shale.
What do heat and pressure do to Sedimentary?
compaction
