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.
What is a nonfoliated rock formed by contact metamorphism of a shale or mudstone?
Contact metamorphism takes place locally near igneous intrusions. It is caused by low to moderate pressure, intense heat, and reactions to magma that is being metamorphosed. When contact metamorphism takes place with mudstone or shale (sedimentary rocks) slate is formed. The mudstone or shale is the parent rock or protolith.
What was gneiss before it undertook heat and pressure?
A mixture of sand and clay, mudstone, metamorphose (process of changing from one type of rock into a metamorphic rock) into gneiss rocks or schist rocks. The mudstones would change under heat and pressure to make the new Metamorphic rocks.
How does shale become schist?
under heat and pressure
What happens to sandstone when heat and pressure are applied?
It becomes metamorphic rock
What happens to carbon under heat and pressure?
it blows up
What happens when limestone is put under heat and pressure?
It could recrystallize and form marble, under specific conditions of heat and pressure.
What happens when rocks are under great heat and pressure?
it will turn into metamorphic rock
When does fusion of hydrogen atoms happens?
under extreme heat and pressure - it happens on the sun all the time!

What happen if you heat steam?
If you heat steam under pressure you get "superheated steam" under higher than original pressure
What happens to pressure as heat is increased?
decreases
What does mud stone turn into?
Mudstone can undergo further diagenesis and compaction to become shale or slate. Under higher temperatures and pressures, it can metamorphose into schist or gneiss. If subjected to extreme heat and pressure, it can even melt and form igneous rocks like granite.
What happens to the pressure of gas when it is heated at a constant heat?
The pressure is higher.
How does a metamorphic rock become igneous?
by going under heat and pressure
