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
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 a force that stretches rock called?
Tensile force / stress.
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.
Any time stress causes rocks to change what is the result?
When stress causes rocks to change, it can result in the deformation of the rock, leading to the formation of faults, folds, or other structural features. Over time, this stress can cause rocks to break and slide past each other, creating earthquakes. Additionally, stress can cause rocks to undergo metamorphism, where they are transformed into new types of rocks under high pressure and temperature.
What is the change in shape or volume of a body of a rock as a result of stress?
deformation
What is a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called?
A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called stress. Tension is the stress that sketched rock so that is becomes thinner in the middle.
What is a deformation and what causes it?
Deformation is a change in the shape or size of a material due to stress or strain. It can be caused by external forces such as pressure, tension, or shearing forces acting on the material, leading to a rearrangement of its atomic structure. Deformation can result in a temporary change (elastic deformation) or a permanent change (plastic deformation) in the material.
Three types of deformation resulting from subjecting rock to stress?
folds-bending of the rocks without breaking faults-fracture of rocks with displacement joints-fracture of rocks wihtout displacement joints affect the resistance of rocks and making it subscitible to weathering
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.
Stress that causes rock layers to stretch and move apart?
This stress is called tensional stress, which causes rock layers to stretch and move apart. It can result in the formation of faults or fractures in the rocks, as well as the creation of features like rift valleys or grabens. Tensional stress typically occurs in divergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
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.
Is the change in shape of rock due to stress?
It is deformation
What is the name of the process by which the shape of a rock changes in response to stress?
The process by which the shape of a rock changes in response to stress is called deformation. This can result in folding, faulting, or fracturing of the rock.
