What changes igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
Heat, pressure, or transfer of elements through high temperature solutions.
Heat and pressure creates what rock?
a metamorphic rock is created by heat and pressure!
How metamorphic rock be transformed into igneous rock?
contact
What is a rock altered by pressure and heat?
Metamorphic rock
What are two factors in the mantle that contribute to the rock cycle?
Weight(gravity) and Thermal energy. Gravity pulls it all down, heat pushes it back up again and
How is igneous rock changed?
igneous rock is changed into sedimentary rock when it weather and erodes then it is semented together igneos rock changes into metimorphic rock when it is melted down into magma melted rock and is put through alot of heat and pressure
What would happen if an igneous rock was introduced to heat and pressure?
It can be either baked and squished into a metamorphic rock, or, if the heat is high enough, it can be melted (and eventually recrystallized) into a new igneous rock.
Is metamorphic rock the rock of heat and pressure?
The rock that gets heat+pressure to turn into a metamorphic rock.
What makes a volcanoe explode?
The volcano explodes when pressurized molten rock combines with a heated gas. Pressure from the solid rock forces the magma up and the melted rock with gas blast out in an opening called central vent.

How Does heat turn into lava?
The rocks in the center of the Earth are under so much pressure that the heat makes the rocks melt. The melted rock is magma, or lava once it has got out of the ground.
What is rock formrd by heat or pressure?
Rock formed by heat and pressure becomes transformed and altered, such rock is called Metamorphic Rock.
When can heat change rock to metamorphic rock?
with heat and pressure
What layer in the Earth changes sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure?
heat and pressure
How does metamorphic rock change into igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock which is exposed to increasing heat and pressure from various sources can eventually melt. If this melt then solidifies, it has become igneous rock.
