If a rock gets a hot enough it will?
it will melt
What rock forming process occurs when hot magma forces its way into rocks?
the rock will melt down slowly then blow
What happens when minerals in igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rock melt?
The rocks will melt when they reach the proper temperature, usually thousands of degrees.
When granite is subjected to high enough amounts of heat and pressure to change it but not melt it granite changes into what type of rock?
It would become metamorphic rock.
What rock is created when minerals melt?
No rock is created when minerals melt. Igneous rock is formed when molten rock solidifies.
If a rock gets a hot enough it will?
it will melt
If a rock gets hot enough what will it do?
It will melt.
If a rock gets too hot it will?
melt.
What rock forming process occurs when hot magma forces its way into rocks?
the rock will melt down slowly then blow
How can metamorphic rock become magma?
If the metamorphic rock becomes hot enough it can melt.
What rocks on earth were created by enough heat to completely melt the material making up the rock?
Igneous rock is formed from solidified melt.
What happens when minerals in igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rock melt?
The rocks will melt when they reach the proper temperature, usually thousands of degrees.
What rock family forms magma if the temperatures and pressures are great enough to melt rock?
metamorphic
What occurs when the temperature on a rock is high enough to melt only some of the minerals in a rock?
they transform into magma
What rock is formed when sandstone is exposed to heat and pressure?
Igneous rocks-after having the chance to cool down after a melt (metamorphic rocks need pressure as well)
When a rock gets to the core does it turn into a igneous rock?
No, first it has to melt, then erupt, and then it has to cool down. When it solidifies completely, it becomes an igneous rock.
Does a rock melt when pressure increases?
No. Rock melts when temperature reaches a high enough point. Increasing pressure actually raises the temperature needed to melt rock, so it can actually cause molten rock to solidify.
