What causes a metamorphic rock to change into an igneous rock?
it falls in magma and melts to molten rock and when it pops out of the volcano and hardens its a igneous rock!
What causes change in color in a sedimentary rock?
weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction/cementation and lithification changes sediments to sedimentary rocks. High pressure and temperatures changes them to metamophic rocks
What is a force that stretches rock called?
Tensile force / stress.
Can a rock change?
Yes, a rock can change. It's not as easy to change a rock as it is to change a marshmallow, but it can be done.
How can a rock change from one type to another?
The Earth itself is not a proactive agent, it is Earth processes that cause change. These Earth processes are driven by the heat in Earth's core and incident Solar radiation.Processes at Earth's surface cause the weathering and breakdown of exposed rocks and the sediments which result from this get transported and deposited to form new Sedimentary rocks.Movements of the continental plates causes rocks comprising the crust to be buried deeper, squashed and heated (sometimes to the point of melting - making new Igneous rocks) and in this new environment new minerals and fabrics form in the rocks which are now called Metamorphic rocks.Over geologic time these processes repeat in what is called the "Rock Cycle".
What is the change in shape of rock due to stress?
Shape of rock also changes because of stress. It causes the rock to change its shape. When a lot of pressure applies it causes the rock to change its shape.
What is Any time stress causes rock to change is?
Any time stress causes rocks to change, deformation occurs.
What is the change in shape or volume of a body of a rock as a result of stress?
deformation
What is a deformation and what causes it?
Deformation is a change in the shape and volume of a rock, deformation is produced when a rock experiences a stress that is greater than the strength of the rock.
The stress force that causes a mass rock to pull of twist in opposite directions is called?
The stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions is called tension. Shearing is the stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions.
What is the force that causes rock layers to crumple and fold?
Compressive stress causes the "crumpling" and folding of rock layers.
What is the stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions called?
The stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions is called tension. Shearing is the stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions.
What are the types of stress?
Stress, in geology, is pressure and can result in an earthquake should the stress in a rock layer suddenly slip when the rock fractures and there is a sudden movement between the two surfaces.
Stress that causes rock layers to stretch and move apart?
tension
What causes a rock to change in to a metamphic rock?
The application of heat and / or pressure causes a rock to be transformed into a metamorphic rock.
What acts on a rock to change its shape or volume?
The answer is stress
Is the change in shape of rock due to stress?
It is deformation
