There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and composites.
Igneous rocks are formed when sedimentary or composite rocks experience extremes of heat and pressure.
Sedimentary rocks are formed when smaller particles are overlaid for extended periods of time.
Composite rocks are formed a mixture of elements under pressure.

Heat and pressure can cause some rocks to change into different types of rocks?
sedimentary rocks
What are two examples of Metomorphic rocks?
Slate and marble are examples of metamorphic rocks. Other metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and quartzite. All metamorphic rocks are formed from other rock types.
What types of rocks can become igneous rocks?
All rocks can become igneous rocks. With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock. There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.
How does erosion change the appearance of rocks?
by different types of erosion, arbraison, hydraulic action and another one but i forgot what its called :L
What is a metamorphic rock made of shale?
A metaphorphic rock is a rock that undergoes changes to become a different type of rock. The rock changes due to extreme pressure wich makes them heat up, and change types.... i hope this helps :)
How does the sedimentary rocks change into other types of rocks?
by the rock cycle :)
How do sedimentary rocks change to other rock types?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by compacting and cementation and change over time into metamorphic rocks by heat and pressure
What kinds of rocks change when they come in contact with magma?
All types of rocks.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
Heat and pressure can cause some rocks to change into different types of rocks?
sedimentary rocks
What other types of rocks are there other than igneous sedimentary and metamorphic?
There are extraterrestrial rocks.
What are the 3 types of interaction that takes place at plate boundaries?
water,soil,rocks and other non-living things
How is bed rock different from other types of rocks?
Bedrock is commonly referred to as the rock that lies right beneath the earths surface. Bedrock is different from other rocks because usually the surface just above the rock can warn away due to things such as the weather, which causes it to break and sometimes change in color.
Which types of rocks are produced from broken down bits of other kinds of rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks.
How are other types of rocks changed into igneous rocks?
There are three processes that change one rock to another, crystallization, metamorphism, erosion and sedimentation. Any rock can transform into any other rock by passing through one or more of these processes.
Which of the types of rocks can only be formed by the chemical change of another rock?
metamorphic
