Is a process by which buried rocks in a large area are changed by heat pressure and fluids.?
Regional
What type of rock do heat and pressure make?
Metamorphic rocks are created when existing solid rocks are exposed to high temperatures and pressures.
How are faults created?
Over many years, moving plates build up pressure inside rocks. Tension strains rocks and those rocks crack and shift to relieve the pressure. That's how faults are created. Well, don't quote me on this because I'm only an eleven year old girl.
Which type of rocks are produced by changing other rocks with high temperature and pressure underground?
Metamorphic rocks are produced by changing other rocks with temperature and pressure underground.
High pressure and high temperature cause rocks to?
High temperature and pressure can cause rocks to change their forms. This is known as metamorphic.High pressure and high temperature can cause rocks to change forms. This is known as metamorphic.
What is the process that forms igeouse rocks?

What rocks are created by pressure and heat within the earth?
Metamorphic Rocks
Why scientist think that large crashing waves split apart large rocks by compressing air in the cracks?
becaues large, crashing waves have a force large enough to put enough pressure on the rocks to crack them

What type of areas are most likely to form metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and schist?
Metamorphic rocks are most likely found at a site that is deep under ground. Metamorphic rocks are formed by other materials under great amounts of pressure. This pressure is caused by plate collisions in the lithosphere.
How do plants commonly break large rocks ino smaller pieces?
roots penetrate into small cracks in rocks and they grow thy exert pressure on rocks breaking them
What must happen for an existing rock to become a metamorphic rock?
It must undergo heat and pressure. Different amounts for different rocks.
When rocks over a large area are changed by heat or pressure the process is called what?
regional metamorphism
What is the formation of large rocks from particles of sediment that occurs pressure is appiled?
Sedimentary because it has sediments.
What type of rock do heat and pressure make?
Metamorphic rocks are created when existing solid rocks are exposed to high temperatures and pressures.
