What else can I help you with?
Shale is a sedimentary rock that can be metamorphosed into slate by?
subjected to heat and pressure. The intense heat and pressure cause the shale's minerals to recrystallize, giving rise to the fine-grained texture and foliation characteristic of slate.
What rocks are made when other rocks are subjected to intense pressure and heat?
Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks, either sedimentary or igneous, are subjected to intense pressure and heat deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes the rocks to undergo physical and chemical changes, resulting in the formation of new minerals and textures characteristic of metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rock can be formed from sedimentary rocks by the activity of?
Metamorphic rock can be formed from sedimentary rocks through the activity of heat and pressure. The intense heat and pressure cause the minerals in the sedimentary rocks to recrystallize, resulting in a new, more compact rock with different properties.
Is coal an igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
Bituminous coal is consided a sedimentary rock. Anthracite coal is bituminous coal that has been metamorphosed by great pressure and heat and is considered a metamorphic rock.
What changes igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
Igneous or sedimentary rocks are transformed into metamorphic rocks through high pressure, temperature, or both. This process, known as metamorphism, occurs deep within the Earth's crust where rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, causing their mineral composition and texture to change without melting.
What new kind of rock is formed when sedimentary rock-is subjected to heat and pressure?
Metamorphic, I believe. ^_^
What new kind of rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected of heat and pressure?
Metamorphic, I believe. ^_^
How do heat and pressure change sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
What rock type can be formed by heat and pressure?
sedimentary
When igneous rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure they become what type o rock?
A sedimentary rock is formed when an igneous rock is subjected to weathering, erosion, compaction, and cementation!
How does rock's form?
Rock forms through three processes. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compression of sediment. Igneous rocks are formed when magma crystallizes after melting. Metamorphic rocks are sedimentary and igneous rocks that have been subjected to pressure and heat .
How marble stone formed?
Marble is formed when limestone is subjected to pressure and great heat.
How are each of the three types formed?
well the sedimentary is formed by heat and pressure
How does sedimentary make sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock is formed when sediments are cemented together due to heat and/or pressure.
Metamorphic rocks can be formed from sedimentary rocks by the activity of?
heat and pressure
Is'nt the sedimentary rocks are form of pressure and heat?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by a four step process called Lithification (1. Erosion, 2. Deposition, 3. Cementation, 4. Compaction). Metamorphic rocks are formed by heat, time, and pressure.
What sedimentary rock changes when heat or pressure is added to it?
Sedimentary rocks such as shale can change into metamorphic rocks like slate when subjected to heat and pressure. This process, known as metamorphism, alters the mineral composition and texture of the rock without melting it completely.
