Can the interaction between magma and surrounding rock cause changes in the rock?
Yes. The rock will get hot, of course, and some pieces of rock will become magma itself.
When heat and pressure is applied to any rock it becomes what?
It becomes hot and under pressure. At some stage, with sufficient heat and pressure it could become a metamorphic rock.
What rock families can form magma if hot enough?
All the three existing rock families/types/classes (ie, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks) can form magma, if they become hot enough to melt and change to molten form.
What is the duration of The Hot Rock film?
The duration of The Hot Rock - film - is 1.75 hours.
For metamorphic rock to become igneous rock what steps are necessary?
Metamorphic rock can not become igneous rock, however igneous rock can become metamorphic. This process happens over time as the rocks are shifted, compressed and heated by the Earth.
Can rock candy be made in a plastic jar?
No because if you put hot water in a plastic container, it'll melt
How can metamorphic rock become magma?
If the metamorphic rock becomes hot enough it can melt.
What happens to a pen if you put it in a hot place?
It will become harder to write with. If the place is hot enough, it will start to melt if it is plastic.
What conditions make rock more ductile?
Ductile deformation is observed by folding of rock layers. Ductile deformation can take place by plastic flow of hot, weak rock.
Can the interaction between magma and surrounding rock cause changes in the rock?
Yes. The rock will get hot, of course, and some pieces of rock will become magma itself.
How deep are the plates on Earth?
about 50km (30 miles) . Beneath this, the rock is hot enough to be soft, with plastic properties.
What happens when rock and water under the crust become very hot?
Pressures can dramatically increase, causing the rock to melt.
What is the mantle of?
It is composed of very hot rock that is "plastic" (slowly moving and deforming). It is not as liquid as the outer core, or the magma that separates the crust from the mantle.
Why can all three rock types melt and become molten?
it can melt and be molten because fire is too hot.
Density causes hot plastic-like rock to be forced upward towards the surface to cool and then sink. This cycle is called a current?
convection current
Is a molten rock the same as fire?
No. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance that produces heat and light. Molten rock is rock that has become so hot that is has melted.
Why doesn't a plastic spoon in hot chocolate hot?
