Siccar Point is the location where the Scottish geologist James Hutton discovered the unconformity (now named after him) where tectonically disturbed and hence steeply dipping Silurian greywackes are overlain by horizontally bedded Devonian sandstones.

What type of rocks can undergo metamorphism?
All rocks can undergo metamorphism; sedimentary, igneous, and even metamorphic rocks.
What changes do rocks undergo near the Earth's surface?
Rocks at or near the surface are subjected to mechanical and chemical weathering which results in oxidation and hydration of their minerals and breaking into smaller pieces. Rock fragments and mechanically-weak weathered rocks may then be subject to erosion, i.e. to being carried away.
When rocks undergo weathering they become?
porous
Any rock exposed at Earths surface will undergo?
The rock or rocks will undergo weathering and erosion.
Can silicon undergo a physical and chemical change?
Yes silicon can undergo physical and chemical changes.
Where does the rock cycle began?
rock cycle the continuous series of changes that rocks undergo
What type of rocks can undergo metamorphism?
All rocks can undergo metamorphism; sedimentary, igneous, and even metamorphic rocks.
Sedimentary rocks formed when they undergo?
Sedimentary rocks form when they undergo metamorphism. Only if they decide NOT to be Sedimentary rocks anymore.
Do minerals undergo cycles?
In a way, yes. Rocks are clusters of minerals and rocks undergo cyles.
What changes do rocks undergo near the Earth's surface?
Rocks at or near the surface are subjected to mechanical and chemical weathering which results in oxidation and hydration of their minerals and breaking into smaller pieces. Rock fragments and mechanically-weak weathered rocks may then be subject to erosion, i.e. to being carried away.
When rocks undergo metamorphic changes chemical reactions cause minerals to recrystallize or change form which agent provides the energy for these reactions?
Heat
Do sediments undergo crystallization?
Answer: No, only ingenous rocks undergo crystallization. :)
How metamorphic rock become metamorphic rock?
It can undergo more metamorphism, creating a different metamorphic rock, or undergo retrograde metamorphism, which also creates a different metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks can undergo these changes due to increases or decreases in temperature and pressure.
Do rocks undergo respiration?
yes
What is a process that changes rocks without changing the minerals they are made of?
A process that changes rocks without changing the minerals they are made of is called metamorphism. This occurs when rocks are subjected to high temperatures and/or pressures, causing them to undergo physical and chemical changes. Metamorphism can result in the formation of new mineral crystals, recrystallization of existing minerals, and the development of new textures within the rock.
When rocks undergo weathering they become?
porous
Why does music undergo radical changes?
dergo radical changes
