What force causes sedimentary rocks to be transformed into metamorphic rocks?

Pressure and heat from being buried under mountains.


Is marble a folliated metamorphic rock?

Yes due to it being under pressure and heat. Metamorphic rock is rock that has been transformed chemically and/or physically due to extreme heat and pressure. Marble qualifies because it is composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, typically dolomite and/or calcite (think limestone) that has been transformed by the heat and pressure present when it was deep in the crust


Is diamond a metamorphic rock why?

Garnet is a non-hydrous mineral, meaning it will form in environments where there is very little water. During the metamorphosis of a rock, as it's being squeezed and compacted by high pressures and heated by high temperatures, the water is driven out and the minerals that contain water are transformed to minerals with a different chemical composition that do not contain water, such as garnet.


What forces causes sedimentary rocks to be transformed into metamorphic rocks?

The essential force in the metamorphic rock formation is pressure. The needed changes are driven by changes in the physical measures of temperature and pressure. As these conditions change, alterations in the composition of the minerals and textures follow.

Does a diamond have to have paperwork before being sOld?

Not necessarily. However, consumers interested in verifying the quality of a diamond, and verifying that the diamond is not a blood diamond, will require a certificate from a certified gemologist, and a Kimberly Certificate, respectively.

Can a metamorphic rock change again after already being changed once?

Yes. There are degrees of rock metamorphism, where a metamorphic rock can be altered into another metamorphic rock by increased pressure and heat.


How is geothermal energy transformed to another energy?

Geothermal can be transformed to thermal energy. Almost everything is transformed to thermal energy because of that we have lots of heat energy in the sky that are being unused.\
