Igneous rock can be transformed into metamorphic rock through what?
Usually it is sedimentary rock that is changed into metamorphic - however it is entirely possible for igneous rock to become metamorphic as well. Metamorphic means different form, and in the geological since it mean rock that has been changed by heat and pressure. Now there isn't too much that can be done to igneous rock to change it chemically, by heat and pressure. But it can undergo physical distortions.
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.
Which low-grade metamorphic rock comosed of extremely fine sized mica and other mineral grains typically exhibits well -developed rock cleavage?
It is schist.
How can sedimentry rock become metamorphic rock?
Well, first before the sediment can become to a metamorphic rock, it has to create into a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock, Then the rocks go under the ground and is under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change.
How are the 3 types of rocks alike?
there all rocks igneous rock, metamorphic rock, and sedimentary Rock
How can you tell one metamorphic rock to another metamorphic rock?
Well it is pretty easy here it goes: A metamorphic rock will display foliation or bands around the rock.
How does a metamorphic rock turn into another type of metamorphic rock?
From increased pressure and/or heat. Fluid removal results in hydrous mineral destruction and non-hydrous mineral creation, resulting in rock of a different mineralogy. A metamorphic rock can be further metamorphosed by additional heat and/or pressure into a rock with a higher degree of metamorphism. An example of this would be the metamorphic rock slate changing into the metamorphic rock phyllite.
Igneous rock can be transformed into metamorphic rock through what?
Usually it is sedimentary rock that is changed into metamorphic - however it is entirely possible for igneous rock to become metamorphic as well. Metamorphic means different form, and in the geological since it mean rock that has been changed by heat and pressure. Now there isn't too much that can be done to igneous rock to change it chemically, by heat and pressure. But it can undergo physical distortions.
What characteristics of state make metamorphic rock useful?
Most metamorphic rocks are very hard. They are often impermeable. These factors make them useful for building materials which last well.
How could an igneous rock change to a metamorphic rock?
Under influence of pressure and temperature, a rock can change, the process is called deformation or metamorphism, the result is a metamorphic rock. This can happen to igneous rocks as well.
What does marble means?
Well it a person that has marbelz in there mouth
What rock is formed when sandstone is exposed to heat and pressure?
Igneous rocks-after having the chance to cool down after a melt (metamorphic rocks need pressure as well)
Metamorphic rocks can only be formed from?
Metamorphic rocks can be formed from any pre-existing rock type (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) that undergoes intense heat, pressure, or chemical changes without melting. This process causes the minerals in the rock to recrystallize and reorganize, resulting in a new metamorphic rock with different properties.
Which metamorphic rock is monomineralic?
slate which only contains the composition mica quartzite and marble as well
Can igneous rock be formed into a metamorphic rock?
An igneous rock can be metamorphosed (changed) into a metamorphic rock but will no longer be an igneous rock. An igneous body can be intruded into metamorphic rocks but will still be an igneous rock that is different from the surrounding metamorphic rocks. Ethier answer work depending on how the question is read.
How does heat change rooks to metamorphic rocks?
Heat causes the minerals in rocks to recrystallize and rearrange, resulting in new mineral structures and textures. This process, known as metamorphism, can change the physical and chemical properties of the rock, transforming it into a metamorphic rock like marble or schist.
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.
