well I know that it is not gneiss I have to look up answers for the answers i got wrong on my test and that was one of them. So good luck future problem askers. :}

What happens to rocks that are pushed under earth's surface and become hotter and experience more pressure?
They become exposed to deformation in a process called metamorphism, and become metamorphic rocks.
What rocks are formed from high temperature and pressures?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can be changed by high temperatures and pressure, and the resultant rock is called metamorphic, because its form has been changed.
Does igneous rock have to become sedimentary rock before it can become metamorphic rock?
No. It can change directly into metamorphic rock due to heat and pressure. For example, granite turning into gneiss.
What causes sedimentary rocks to become metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rock can become metamorphic rock under intense heat and pressure. The heat and pressure do not change the rock's chemical composition, but do change its physical properties like hardness, texture, and structure.
High temperature and pressure cause igneous rocks to become what type of rock?
Metamorphic rock
How does metamorphic change to igneous?
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.
How a sedimentary rock or igneous rock become a metamorphic rock?
when sedimentary rocks get exposed to great heat and pressure, they become more consolidated (harder to weather). when igneous rock combines with sediments and the two are heated under pressure, they become one rock, a metamorphic rock
How does igneous rock change to metamorphic 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.
What happens to rocks that are pushed under earth's surface and become hotter and experience more pressure?
They become exposed to deformation in a process called metamorphism, and become metamorphic rocks.
What type of sedimentary rock is made from compacted mud?
mudstone and shale. These can become the metamorphic rock slate if exposed to high pressure and temperature.
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.
How do you change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rocks could become metamorphic rocks if they are exposed to extreme heat and pressure deep in the Earth's crust. The rocks could come to the surface by volcanic activity or rising magma.
What does sand turn into when under high pressure and high temperature?
it will turn into the metamorphic rock, Quartzite
How can sedimentary rock become metamorphic?
Heating and pressure
How do igneous become metamorphic?
Through exposure to heat and pressure at depth.
What are two factors that cause rock to become metamorphic?
heat and pressure
How could granite become a metamorphic rock?
Metamorphisism (heat and pressure)
