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.
What else can I help you with?
Heat and pressure can cause some rocks to change into different types of rocks?
sedimentary rocks
What are four factors that cause rocks to change types?
Rocks can change types due to processes such as weathering and erosion, which break down existing rocks into sediment. These sediments can then be compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks. Additionally, metamorphism occurs when rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature, transforming them into metamorphic rocks. Lastly, volcanic activity can melt rocks into magma, which can cool and solidify into igneous 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
How does the sedimentary rocks change into other types of rocks?
by the rock cycle :)
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?
Other types of rocks include volcanic rocks (such as basalt and pumice), hydrothermal rocks (like geyserite and travertine), and organic rocks (such as coal and limestone). These rocks form from specific processes or conditions that differ from the formation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
Which type of rocks are produced from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
Which types of rocks are produced from broken down bits of other kinds of rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks.
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.
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.
What types of rocks can only be formed by the chemical change of another rock?
metamorphic
Which of the types of rocks can only be formed by the chemical change of another rock?
metamorphic
What are the 3 major rock types and how can they change from one to another type?
The three major categories of rocks are igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. Other kinds of rock can changes to igneous by being melted and then solidifying again. Other kinds of rock can be change to sedimentary by being weathered, then transported, then deposited, and then consolidated. Other kinds of rock can be changed to metamorphic when their structure is altered by great heat or pressure or both.
