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.
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 type of sedimentary rock is made from compacted mud?
mudstone and shale. These can become the metamorphic rock slate if exposed to high pressure and temperature.
When sedimentary rock is exsposed to heat and pressure what happends?
When sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure, it undergoes a process called metamorphism, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rock. The increased temperature and pressure cause the minerals within the sedimentary rock to recrystallize and align, altering its texture and composition. This transformation can lead to the development of new minerals and structural changes, producing rocks like schist or gneiss from shale or limestone, respectively.
How can igneous rock change?
An igneous rock, just like any other rock, can be changed through metamorphic, igneous, and/or sedimentary processes. When exposed to high temp. and pressure, igneous becomes metamorphic. When re-melted, it becomes igneous again. When weathered/eroded, it becomes sedimentary.
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.

When sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure's what does it change into?
Metamorphic rock
What rock is an old rock that has been exposed to heat and pressure and has no visible layers?
sedimentary rock
How can igneous and metamorphic rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
By them being boroken down (sediment) then exposed to great pressure.
How can metamorphic and igneous rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
By them being boroken down (sediment) then exposed to great pressure.
How would Sedimentary rock turn to metamorphic?
Sedimentary rock that is exposed to heat and pressure will be changed to (metamophised) into metamorphic rock. This is often associated with volcanic activity. An example is limestone, when exposed to the pressure and heat can be changed to marble.

How a sedimentary rock or igneous rock become a metamorphic rock?
when sedimentary rocks get exposed to great heat and pressure, they become more consolidated (harder to weather). when igneous rock combines with sediments and the two are heated under pressure, they become one rock, a metamorphic rock
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.
