Can sedimentary rock be turned into metamorphic rock?
Yes it can, a sedimentary rock goes through heat and pressure and is formed into a metamorphic rock.
Can pebbles change into igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
No. It's too late.Unless it gets eroded itself and eventually forms layers of sediment which may then get turned into rock.
How does molten rock become sedimentary rock?
Molten rock (igneous rock) may be worn down (weather and erosion), turning into pebbles, then due to things such as floods, they can get washed down into a lake where the water is calm. Things such as clay and sand settle down too, as well as other rocks. Over many years (we're talking thousands, millions of years here) all of those things get compressed and eventually the pressure is so great that it forms one big bit of rock. That's why in sedimentary rock you see all the layers, they are all the layers of things like sand, clay and rocks all pressed together. I think that's how a lot of sedimentary rocks are made. Metamorphic rock may also be turned into sedimentary this way.
How long does it take to form a metamorphic rock?
The rock cycle is the natural process in which rocks transform from one rock type into another rock type over time, a type of natural recycling.Igneous rocks, which are formed from magma cooling underground, or lava above ground are formed from previous igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks which have become melted, usually as a result of plate collision and subduction.------->When these igneous rocks are exposed to weathering and erosion, they break down into smaller particles that are transported by wind and water to a place of deposition, where they can form into sedimentary rock strata, through a process of lithification, where excess water is squeezed out by overburden pressures and the particles are cemented together by various minerals precipitating out of How_do_rocks_change_from_one_type_to_another_in_the_rock_cycle. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can both be turned into sedimentary rocks in this way.------->Igneous and sedimentary rocks can also be changed by heat and/or pressure into metamorphic rocks, by transforming their existing mineral structures into new minerals or realigning the existing minerals. There are different degrees of metamorphism, so even an existing metamorphic rock can become a different metamorphic rock. -------->If these metamorphic rocks are melted, then solidify, they become igneous rocks, and the cycle starts all over again.The rock cycle is largely driven by lithospheres plate movements which cause subduction and uplift, also by climatic conditions and the associated erosion elements.
What happens to mason in wizards unleashed?
They use magic to bring him back like you know when uncle kelbo turned into shakira,its like that that's how he transformes back and forth
How do sedimentary rocks go from the sea bed to be turned into metamorphic?
sedimentary rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks by the use of pressure and/or heat
Can sedimentary rock be turned into metamorphic rock?
Yes it can, a sedimentary rock goes through heat and pressure and is formed into a metamorphic rock.
How does metamorphic rock turn to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks get turned in to metamorphic rocks by heat and pressure. They get heated by magma and convection currents, which causes the rock to change.
How does metamorphic turns to sedemantary?
Sedimentary rock is rock that has been worn away and turned into sediment such as sand. That sediment is then compacted together and turned into rock. So metamorphic rock wears away and compacts into sedimentary rock
How does a metamorphic rock get turned into a sedimentary rock?
Usually through the weathering and erosion of the metamorphic rock. The rock particles from the metamorphic rock are transported to a place of deposition where they can be cemented together by a process called lithification, forming a sedimentary rock.
How are sedimentary rocks formed physical process?
Metamorphic, igneous, and past sedimentary rocks are turned into sediments by weathering and erosion. Then, the sediment are deposited. Finally, by compaction and/or cementation, a sedimentary rock is formed
How a metamorphic rock can be changed into a sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock can be broken down in the weathering process, the same as any other type of rock. Once the weathered material is deposited, compacted, and lithified (turned to rock), it becomes a sedimentary rock.
Why aren't you likely to find a fossil in metamorphic or igneous rocks?
the fossils would be turned into another rock if it was in a metamorphic rock or igneous rocks. it requires a blanket of sediment
How are sedimentary rocks formed through physical process?
Metamorphic, igneous, and past sedimentary rocks are turned into sediments by weathering and erosion. Then, the sediment are deposited. Finally, by compaction and/or cementation, a sedimentary rock is formed
What condition change igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rock?
Extreme heat and pressure, like that of coal turning to diamonds. Metamorphic rocks, in turn, are then broken down or turned into molten rock, so new sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks can form.
Is this true or false sedimentary rocks can be turned into metamorphic rocks when heat and pressure is applied?
True. Sedimentary rocks can undergo metamorphism when they are subjected to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This process transforms the mineral composition and texture of the rock, creating metamorphic rocks.
What is called when organisms are trapped in sedimentary rock?
when an organism is trapped in sedimentary rock, it will die and the organism will slowly decay, but it won't decay altogether and you get a fossil. the older the fossil is the lower down it will be in a sedimentary layer. that's called superposition...
