What steps lead to forming a metamorphic rock?
Existing rocks are buried and subjected to heat and pressure. This causes them to recrystallise without melting.
What forces cause rocks to change from one type to another?
Magma subjected to cooling becomes igneous rock. Igneous rock then is subjected to weathering and erosion forming sediment which becomes compacted and cemented as sedimentary rock. Both sedimentary rock as well as Igneous rock when subjected ti heat and pressure become Metamorphic rock. This cycle goes on and on and is called the rock cycle.
Which of these terms is defined as water droplets forming on the grass as the temperature drops?
The dew point refers to water droplets forming on the grass as the temperature drops. This is actually a condensation process.
What factors affect the structures of silicate minerals as they are forming?
temerature, weather and pressure
Temperature falling below dew point at night?
droplets forming on ground

What may be involved with metamorphism EXCEPT?
The full question is: What may be involved with metamorphism EXCEPT A recrystalization into denser minerals B new minerals forming in the solid state C increased temperature or pressure D hydrothermal activity E melting of existing rock E melting of existing rock is not part of metamorphism

What must be done to oxygen and hydrogen to change them liquids?
If you mean the individual gases you will need to apply pressure and or reduce the temperature to liquefy the gases. If you mean by forming a compound react them together. The end product is water which is liquid at room temperature and pressure.

How does marble and other metamorphic rock from?
Marble is formed from limestone being buried, heated and subjected to pressure, causing minerals to recrystallise into different atomic structures, forming different minerals to the original limestone. In laymans terms this is the process that occurs to form all metamorphic rocks. The type of metamorphic rock formed is dependant on the chemical and mineral composition of the source rock, and the amount of heat and pressure the source rock is subjected to.
What is recrystalline temperature?
Recrystallisation temperature is the temperature at which the crystal structure starts forming.
What is happening in the air when a funnel cloud is forming?
Air is being pulled upward int a rotating vortex with a low pressure center. The low pressure produces a temperature drop, causing moisture in the air to condense.
How does temperature effect vapour pressure of a liquid?
as the temperature increase the liquid becomes less condensed and the pressure decreases. as its molecule lossen they move faster, the liquid will turn into a gas. if the temperature decreases then it will do the opposite. it would slow down the molecules, and increase the pressure, making a solid.
What effects the forming of clouds?
temperature, for starters.
Match the ecosystem elements in column 1 to the cultural characteristics it most likely affects in column 2?
Pressure rising: Clear skies,Pressure falling: Rain,Temperature falling below dew point at night: Droplets forming on ground,Temperature falling in the late morning: Weather front
Is there low pressure immediately above trees And if so can it effect tornadoes from forming or feeding one already on the ground?
No. There is no special low pressure area over trees. Forests can affect weather through impacts on temperature and humidity, however.
