When a rock changes due to surrounding pressure on all sides?
Burial metamorphism
What changes igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
Heat, pressure, or transfer of elements through high temperature solutions.
When heat and pressure is applied to sedimentary rock it changes into what?
Diamond
The process in which a rock changes because of extreme heat and pressure caused by a meteorite collision with Earth?
This is contact metamorphism. It is when the rock will be heated up really hot and then pressured into changing as it moves.
Metamorphism involves what two conditions act on the existing rock to change it?
Metamorphism involves temperature and high pressure and chemical changes. The high pressure, chemical changes and temperature are the metamorphism that act on a rock that makes it change.
When a rock changes due to the surrounding pressure on all sides what has occured?
Metamorphism from recrystallization could occur.
When a rock changes due to surrounding pressure on all sides?
Burial metamorphism
Match the type of metamorphism to its best definition.?
Contact metamorphism - the process in which a rock changes as a result of heat generated from magma Dynamic metamorphism- the process in which a rock changes due to pressure directed onto it impact metamorphism - the process in which a rock changes because of extreme heat and pressure caused by a meteorite collision with earth regional metamorphism- the process in which buried rocks in a large area are changed by heat pressure and fluids
How does the pressure change as you go toward the center of the earth?
Because, During your journey to the center of Earth, your instruments record an increase in pressure in the surrounding rock.
What changes a sedimentry rock into a metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure
What layer in the Earth changes sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure?
heat and pressure
What kind of rock forms when any type of solid rock changes into another type of rock because of increased pressure or temperature?
Those are metamorphic rocks, changed from one type to another by extreme pressure.
When heat and pressure changes a rock what kind of rock does it turn into?
metamorphic
What are some changes that occur when a sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock?
To change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock, you change it by time,heat, and pressure.
How do you change a igneous rock to a metamorphic rock?
you expose the rock to extreme heat or pressure such that the rock changes.
What is a dynamic metamorphism?
A process that changes rock due to directed pressure on a rock
What is a dynamic to metamorphism?
A process that changes rock due to directed pressure on a rock
