When heat and pressure are applied to sedimentary rock, it undergoes a process called metamorphism. This results in changes to the rock's mineralogy, texture, and structure, transforming it into metamorphic rock. The original sedimentary rock's characteristics are altered, creating new minerals and rock types such as gneiss, schist, and marble.
Igneous or sedimentary rocks are transformed into metamorphic rocks through high pressure, temperature, or both. This process, known as metamorphism, occurs deep within the Earth's crust where rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, causing their mineral composition and texture to change without melting.
Heat and pressure from tectonic forces can metamorphose sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks. Weathering and erosion can break down sedimentary rocks into smaller particles or clasts. Hydrothermal fluids can alter the mineral composition of sedimentary rocks through processes like recrystallization.
The rock that has been changed by extreme pressure or heat is called metamorphic rock. It can form from igneous, sedimentary, or existing metamorphic rocks that undergo changes in temperature and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and gneiss.
When mud from a lake bottom turns into a sedimentary rock, it undergoes compaction and cementation. To transform into a metamorphic rock, the sedimentary rock experiences heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust, causing recrystallization and mineral changes. This process alters the sedimentary rock's original texture, structure, and mineral composition.
heat and pressure
Heat and pressure are applied to igneous or sedimentary rocks to make metamorphic rocks form. Heat causes mineral grains to recrystallize, while pressure helps to rearrange the mineral structure within the rock.
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
Any force applied on it, erosion, pressure and heat from underground.
Marble, an intermediate grade metamorphic rock.
When heat and pressure are applied to sedimentary rock, it undergoes a process called metamorphism. This results in changes to the rock's mineralogy, texture, and structure, transforming it into metamorphic rock. The original sedimentary rock's characteristics are altered, creating new minerals and rock types such as gneiss, schist, and marble.
To change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock, you change it by time,heat, and pressure.
Not sure what you are trying to ask. Sedimentary rocks form from sediments, but can be metamorphosed only by applied heat &/or pressure.
Sedimentary rocks such as shale can change into metamorphic rocks like slate when subjected to heat and pressure. This process, known as metamorphism, alters the mineral composition and texture of the rock without melting it completely.
heat and pressure is applied to the rock and it becomes a metamorphic rock.
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
A sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock when there is heat, pressure, and time. -over a long period of time
