No, when a rock becomes metamorphic, it does not look the same as it did originally. The process of metamorphism involves changes in mineral composition and texture due to heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids, which can alter the rock's appearance significantly. For example, sedimentary limestone can transform into marble, changing its texture and crystalline structure. Thus, the original rock's characteristics are often modified or completely transformed.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock continues to heat and eventually melts and becomes igneous rocks.
What is a name of a sedimentary rock that becomes igneous?
metamorphic
When metamorphic rock melts turns into?
Metamorphic rock that melts turns to magma. This only becomes lava if it is erupted to the surface in a volcano.
How can a metomorphic rock become an igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks underground melt to become magma. When a volcano erupts, magma flows out of it. As the lava cools it hardens and becomes igneous rock.
Why Doesn't metamorphic rock occur at temperatures 1000 degrees or higher?
if rock melts it will form magma, which leads to the formation of igneous rocks
What happens when metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock continues to heat and eventually melts and becomes igneous rocks.
How metamorphic rock turns into igneous?
Metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock when it is melted, then solidifies.
How can metamorphic rock become magma?
If the metamorphic rock becomes hot enough it can melt.
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 type of metamorphic rock is very hard and is originally from sandstone?
Quartzite, a non banded metamorphic rock.
How could metamorphic rock become a sedimentary rock?
When sedimentary rock undergoes enough heat and pressure, it becomes metamorphic rock. A classic example of this is when shale becomes slate.
What happens to a sedimentary rock after weathering?
I becomes sediments again or becomes igneous or metamorphic rock
What is a name of a sedimentary rock that becomes igneous?
metamorphic
Can metamorphic rocks be changed into other types of metamorphic rocks?
Yes, when the metamorphic rock melts and becomes magma there is a chance that it can become a new type of rock.
What metamorphic rock becomes under heat and pressure?
this is called a ingneous rock
When limestone is changed it becomes what type of rock?
When limestone goes through heat and pressure, it becomes the metamorphic rock marble.
When metamorphic rock melts turns into?
Metamorphic rock that melts turns to magma. This only becomes lava if it is erupted to the surface in a volcano.
