What else can I help you with?
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.
Why doesn't a plastic spoon get as hot as a metal spoon?
Plastic is a poor conductor of heat compared to metal, so it takes longer for heat to transfer through a plastic spoon. This means that a plastic spoon will not become as hot as quickly as a metal spoon when exposed to heat.
How deep are the plates on Earth?
about 50km (30 miles) . Beneath this, the rock is hot enough to be soft, with plastic properties.
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.
Does hot lava become rock or soil?
It cools to form igneous rock, which over time may be eroded down to become a component of the soil. The larger contributor to rich soil around volcanoes is the ash which settles after an eruption.
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 doesn't a plastic spoon in hot chocolate hot?
plastic doesnt hold heat. unlike the spoon
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
Why can all three rock types melt and become molten?
it can melt and be molten because fire is too hot.
What happens when rock and water under the crust become very hot?
When rock and water under the crust become very hot, the water can turn into steam, creating pressure. This can lead to volcanic activity, such as eruptions and geysers. The heat may also cause the rock to melt and form magma, which can rise to the surface and create volcanic eruptions.
Why it is dangerous to leave plastic things in cars under the hot sun?
Some types of plastic melt quite easily. In a hot car, it can easily get hot enough to damage plastic objects.
