What kind of rocks form when other pieces of rock and matter gather into layers?
a sedimentary rock is formed. depending on which rocks were squished, you can get different rocks
What is the rock cycle and what is the role of plate tectonics in the rock cycle?
The rock cycle is a series of processes on Earth's surface and in the crust and mantle that slowly change rocks from one kind to another.Plate movements start the rock cycle by helping to form magma, the source of igneous rocks. Plate movements also cause faulting, folding, and other motions of the crust that help to form sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
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.
Are all rocks the same if not why?
nope < they are like snowflakes all one of a kind . i think they are all the same because sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock can change into one another during the rock cycle so yes they are the same
What kind of abiotic factors are found in a desert?
Rocks are nonliving (abiotic) yet form part of the environment found in a desert.
Can rocks change from any other type of rock?
Yes, rocks can change from any type.Igneous rocks can be compressed and change into a Metamorphic.Sedimentary and Metamorphic can be heated and compressed together to form any kind of Metamorphic.Sedimentary rocks can be formed from chips of an Igneous rock.And so forth. . .
What kind of rocks form in a river delta?
sedimentary rocks
Can rocks change from one kind to another kind?
yes it can
What kind of rocks form layers?
sedimentary
What different types of rock can change form?
Rocks can change from one form to another from the results of weathering and erosion, or by stresses caused by heat or pressure, either over time or suddenly. Rocks can also change by a process called mesasomatism, where the chemistry of a rock is changed by ion transfer via hot circulating fluids.
What kind rocks can the igneous rock form?
sedimentary
What kind of rocks tend to form cliffs?
limestone
What are kind of rock?
The three kinds of rocks by their method of formation are IGNEOUS rocks, SEDIMENTARY rocks and METAMORPHIC rocks. Igneous rocks cool from magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks form by the deposition of particulates and silt. Metamorphic rocks form from rocks (usually sedimentary) that are compressed and heated underground.
Can rocks change from one one kind to another kind any order?
Yes, rocks can change from one kind to another through processes like metamorphism (changing due to heat and pressure) or weathering (breaking down into smaller particles). The rock cycle illustrates how rocks can continuously change from one type to another in any order.
What kind of rocks form when other pieces of rock and matter gather into layers?
a sedimentary rock is formed. depending on which rocks were squished, you can get different rocks
What kind of weathering causes mineral composition of rocks to change?
Chemical weathering
What kind of weather causes the mineral composition of rocks to change?
