How do heat and pressure change sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
What pr ocesses change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?
heat and pressure, but without melting.
Heat and pressure can cause some rocks to change into different types of rocks?
sedimentary rocks
How does a rock change into sedimentary rock?
A sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock when there is heat, pressure, and time. -over a long period of time
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.
What will happen if a sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure?
If a sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure, it may undergo metamorphism and transform into a metamorphic rock. The minerals present in the sedimentary rock can recrystallize and reorganize due to the increased temperature and pressure, resulting in the formation of new minerals and a change in texture.
How do sedimentary rocks change to other rock types?
Sedimentary rocks can transform into metamorphic rocks through the process of heat and pressure. The heat and pressure cause the minerals within the sedimentary rock to recrystallize and form new mineral structures. This transformation can occur deep within the Earth's crust where temperatures and pressures are high.
Igneous and sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat They will most likely form?
If igneous rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to recrystallize into new igneous rocks. On the other hand, if sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to metamorphose into metamorphic rocks.
How do Sedimentary rocks change to Metamorphic?
Sedimentary rocks change to metamorphic rocks through the process of metamorphism, where heat and pressure alter the original sedimentary rock's mineralogy, texture, and structure. This process generally occurs deep within the Earth's crust where rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing the recrystallization of minerals and the development of new textures.
How do you change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rocks could become metamorphic rocks if they are exposed to extreme heat and pressure deep in the Earth's crust. The rocks could come to the surface by volcanic activity or rising magma.
Can a sedimentary rock be a igneous rock when exposed to heat and pressure?
Usually it is metamorphic rocks that are formed by heat and pressure, but sedimentary rocks can too. Usually, the word 'sedimentary' means 'of sediments' which means that it is composed of lots of layers upon layers compacting down. In that case, pressure is essential, but heat isn't always needed.
What rock is an old rock that has been exposed to heat and pressure and has no visible layers?
sedimentary rock
How was granite created using the stages of the rock cycle?
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock that can become exposed at the surface, eroded, and form sedimentary rock through lithification of sediments. It can also become the metamorphic rock gneiss by being exposed to extreme pressures and additional heat from mountain building processes.
Can heat and pressure change the sedimentary shale into slate?
No
How does sedimentary rock change into sediment?
Heat & pressure
In order to form magma what must happen to sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rocks?
In order to form magma, sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rocks must be exposed to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes the rocks to partially melt, forming molten rock called magma.
Can heat and pressure change the sedimentary rock shale into slate?
No
