What kind of rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure?
obsidion
How is gneiss rock formed?
Gneiss is formed from pre-existing rocks that are subjected to intense directional pressure and heat, causing an alignment of their constituent minerals into parallel bands, a texture that is referred to as foliation.
How are methamorphic rocks formed?
They are formed when you have a rock that has pressure and heat added to it which creates a different rock. (ex. granite ___ geniss )
What are rocks made when other rocks are subjected to intense pressure and heat?
Metamorphic rocks may be formed.
Is granite and slate the same?
No. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, formed from the solidification of magma underground. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock formed from heat and pressure applied to deposits of shale, a sedimentary rock.
What are ways to get schist?
Schist is a foliated metamorphic rock. It is formed when mudstone, shale, slate, or phyllite are subjected to higher temperature and pressure.
How marble stone formed?
Marble is formed when limestone is subjected to pressure and great heat.
How is gniess is formed?
Gniess is formed from pre-existing rocks that are subjected intense derectional pressure.
What kind of rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure?
obsidion
How is gneiss rock formed?
Gneiss is formed from pre-existing rocks that are subjected to intense directional pressure and heat, causing an alignment of their constituent minerals into parallel bands, a texture that is referred to as foliation.
What is stronger than sand?
i think granite because it was formed under the earth in deep pressure and heat but marble has weaker bonds in its particles. marble was formed by limestone with not alot of pressure as granite or heat. granite is way strongger
What type of rock is greenstone?
Greenstone is the rock that has characteristics of both igneous and metamorphic rock.When you break this rock you will see the basaltic composition but it is formed when a basalt is subjected to a different temperature and pressure.
What is marble formed from?
Marble is formed when limestone or dolostone is subjected to heat and pressure deep beneath the surface, so marble is formed from limestone or dolostone.
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?

How are methamorphic rocks formed?
They are formed when you have a rock that has pressure and heat added to it which creates a different rock. (ex. granite ___ geniss )
Which type of change takes place when granite turns into gneiss?
Granite does not turn into limestone. Granite is an igneous rock originating from volcanic activity. Limestone is a sedimentary rock laid down in the oceans millions of years ago. Limestone does turn into marble when subjected to huge pressures and heat. It is found areas with a lot of seismic activity like Itlay and Turkey.
