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 is rock that is changed by heat pressure or chemical change?
Metamorphic rocks have been changed by heat or pressure. This can be a change in size, shape, or arrangement of minerals.
What happens to a fossil when the sedimentary rock it was in turned into a metamorphic rock?
As in what process causes this? if so it is usually under heat and pressure. Depending on what kind of rick it is depends on the resultant metamorphic rock e.g Shale-->Slate etc
What happens to Rock Salt when heat and pressure is applied?
Rock salt would not form a metamorphic rock, due to its dissolution under metamorphic stresses. The solution would be forced elsewhere, but small amounts could recrystallize as a small component of another metamorphic rock.
What are the two factors that changes igneous and sedimentary rocks to become the third type of rock called metamorphic rocks?
I just learned this in school. The two factors in the rock cycle to form metamorphic rock are extreme heat and/or pressure
When heat and pressure is applied to sedimentary rock it changes into what?
Diamond
What makes a sedimentary or igneous rock form to a metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure is applied to the rock and it becomes a metamorphic rock.
What happens to sandstone when heat and pressure are applied?
It becomes metamorphic rock

It becomes hot and under pressure. At some stage, with sufficient heat and pressure it could become a metamorphic rock.
Can an exsiting rock change into another type of rock only when it it is subjected to great pressure?
Yes, if you see a sedimentary rock, then that was once a metamorphic rock, because great pressure applied by a mountain or a volcano turned it into a metamorphic rock! :)
What is a metamorphic rock made from schist?
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock formed when intense heat and/or pressure is applied to it's parent rock schist.
What is rock formrd by heat or pressure?
Rock formed by heat and pressure becomes transformed and altered, such rock is called Metamorphic Rock.
What is sedimentary rock formed by deposit of shale?
Slate is the metamorphic rock, formed from regional (heat and pressure applied) metamorphism on shale.
What does sedimentary limestone turn into when heat and pressure is applied?
Marble, an intermediate grade metamorphic rock.
What the difference between a foliated rock and a non-foliated rock?
The Process. Both foliated and nonfoliated rocks begin their lives as either sedimentary, igneous or another metamorphic rock. Type of Pressure. If the pressure applied to the recrystallizing rock is unequal, then a foliated rock will form.
What happens when heat and pressure is applied to sedimentary rock?
The rock is metamorphosed: meaning its physical and/or chemical properpties are altered. E.g., limestone to marble.
