They can be found at the Earth's surface due to uplift, weathering, and erosion, but are formed at some depth. An exception would be surface rock that is metamorphosed by heat and pressure from meteorite impact or that which is formed by contact metamorphism due to igneous intrusive or extrusive activity.
What else can I help you with?
What cause rocks to change form and become metamorphic rocks?
heat and pressure
Can an igneous rock become metamorphic?
Yes,so can sedimentary rocks and even other metamorphic rocks.
When igneous rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure they become what type o rock?
A sedimentary rock is formed when an igneous rock is subjected to weathering, erosion, compaction, and cementation!
Heat and pressure can cause some rocks to change into different types of rocks?
sedimentary rocks
What process must rocks go through to become metamorphic rocks?
compaction
What cause rocks to change form and become metamorphic rocks?
heat and pressure
What type of rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
What rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
What causes sedimentary rocks to become metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rock can become metamorphic rock under intense heat and pressure. The heat and pressure do not change the rock's chemical composition, but do change its physical properties like hardness, texture, and structure.
How do igneous rock become metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks become igneous rocks by melting from heat and pressure, remnants of which may cool from melt (magma) and become components of igneous rock.
What are the main things that cause metamorphic rocks to form?
the main things that cause metamorphic rocks to form is heat, pressure and chemical fluids.
Can an igneous rock become metamorphic?
Yes,so can sedimentary rocks and even other metamorphic rocks.
Do sedimentary rocks melt and become magma?
No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.
High temperature and pressure cause igneous rocks to become what type of rock?
High temperature and pressure on igneous rocks cause them to transform into metamorphic rocks through a process called metamorphism. This process typically involves recrystallization of minerals and changes in texture and structure without melting.
Can metamorphic rocks be changed into other types of metamorphic rocks?
Yes, when the metamorphic rock melts and becomes magma there is a chance that it can become a new type of rock.
When igneous rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure they become what type o rock?
A sedimentary rock is formed when an igneous rock is subjected to weathering, erosion, compaction, and cementation!
Do igneous rocks directly become metamorphic rock?
no
