What process did iron ore go through to be a sedimentary rock?
Orginally an igneous rock and then became secondary metamorphic rock and now sedimentary rock.
Where does sedimentary rock come from originally?
A sedimentary rock is made from the products of the erosion of other rocks. These could be igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. If you wish to know the original rock from which sedimentary and metamorphic rocks came from, you have to go back to when the Earth formed. In this case, the answer would be an igneous rock.
Why does it take milllions of years for rocks to change?
Not in all cases. sometimes it take shorter time. for example the contact metamorphic rock can be formed within a short period. If an area of sedimentary rocks experience a sudden volcanic eruption those sedimentary rocks will quickly metamorphose to Metamorphic rock. The reason it takes rock to change is because the process is a long one. Weathering, erosion, deposition, cementation/compaction. By the time the whole process go through it has been millions of years or thousands
How can sedimentry rock become metamorphic rock?
Well, first before the sediment can become to a metamorphic rock, it has to create into a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock, Then the rocks go under the ground and is under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change.
What are the similarities between biological weathering and chemical weathering?
Weathering is weathering, no matter how it occurs. Both chemical and biological weathering wear down rock. They simply go about it in different ways.
What process must a sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock?
what processes must sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock
What processes must a sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock?
what processes must sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock
How do sedimentary rocks go from the sea bed to be turned into metamorphic?
sedimentary rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks by the use of pressure and/or heat
Does a rock go through the complete rock cycle by changing from igneous rock to sedimentary to metamorphic?
Yes, it can. However, an igneous rock can change to a metamorphic rock skipping sedimentary: the tectonic plates can push igneous rock deep into the ground, forming metamorphic rock. Sedimentary can form metamorphic, metamorphic can form magma or lava by melting and/or erupting and then turn into igneous. Igneous forms sedimentary with erosion, deposition compaction, and cementation.
How can Igneous and metamorphic rock be changed into sedimentary rock?
there are several ways such as heat & pressure, melting, chemical weathering, compression, compaction & cementation, but it depends on the kind of rock it is for what process it has to go through. -Cutegirl99
How can igneous rock be change into sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock?
there are several ways such as heat & pressure, melting, chemical weathering, compression, compaction & cementation, but it depends on the kind of rock it is for what process it has to go through. -Cutegirl99
What type of rock can turn into sedimentary rock?
Any type of rock can turn into sedimentary rock through the process of weathering and erosion. This involves the breaking down of existing rocks into sediments, which are then compacted and cemented together to form new sedimentary rock.
What is metamorphic rock forms from?
Metamorphic rock is formed when Igneous rock and Sedimentary rock go through intense heat and pressure.
Does an igneous rock have to go through the sedimentary process in order to become metamorphic?
No, it doesn't.
Can metamorphic rocks be sedimentary or igneous rocks?
there are several ways such as heat & pressure, melting, chemical weathering, compression, compaction & cementation, but it depends on the kind of rock it is for what process it has to go through. -Cutegirl99
What process did iron ore go through to be a sedimentary rock?
Orginally an igneous rock and then became secondary metamorphic rock and now sedimentary rock.
What types of rocks can turn into sedimentary rocks?
the type of rock that change into sedimentary rock is igneous rock.it under go weathering to form sediments,sediments under go lithification to Ford sedimentary rocks
