How do metamorphic rocks form from igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks?
If any kind of rock-igneous or sedimentary- is far enough beneath the surface, the pressure can change it into a metamorphic rock. Also heat - the effects differ. It doesn't have to be ever so deeply buried, geologically, since metamorphism is usually a orogenic process in the affected sedimentary rock.

Example of summary?
Precambrian rocks have been so deeply buried that they have changed by heat and pressure. That's a summary about the Precambrian time.
How does the granite of a mountain change first into a sandstone into a quartzite?
The forces of the mountain building slowly pushed the granite upward. This formed a mountain. Water and wind slowly wore the granite away. The sand remaining was carried by streams to the ocean. Over millions of years layers of sediment piled up on the ocean floor and changed to sandstone. Sandstone is a Sedimentary rock. Over time, the sandstone became deeply buried. Heat and pressure changed the sandstone to quartzite, a metamorphic rock. I got this from my science homework. :)
Which factor prevents us from finding precambrian fossils?
Most rocks from that era are deeply buried.
What are two forces that can expose deeply buried fossils?
Erosion
Can the temp of earth change a rock?
Yes, rocks deposited near the surface (eg limestone) are changed by the pressure and heat when they are buried deeply in the earth (eg limestone becomes marble)
What prevents us from finding precambrian fossils?
Most rocks from that era are deeply buried.
Slope mining is used for deeply buried mineral deposite?
No, if the minerals are deep, slope mining is not possible.
Which is a factor that prevents us from finding the Precambrian fossils?
most rock form that era are deeply buried.
What happens to snow that is deeply buried?
It ends up getting very compact and cold and hard to break up

How is stone created?
There are 3 types of stone, each is created differently:igneous - solidification of molten lavas (surface) or magmas (underground)sedimentary - deposition of eroded material from other stone followed by cementation of the material togethermetamorphic - modification of either of the other 2 by heat and pressure while deeply buried
What time of year is geothermal energy produced?
The idea behind geothermal energy is that the pipework for it is buried deeply enough that the temperature is constant year-round.
