What thing is not a metamorphic agent?
One thing that is not a metamorphic agent is sediment. Metamorphic agents include heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids, which facilitate the transformation of existing rocks into metamorphic rocks. Sediment, on the other hand, refers to fragments of rock and minerals that accumulate and can lead to the formation of sedimentary rocks rather than metamorphic ones.
Changed-over rocks are called?
Metamorphic Rocks
How does an igneous rock change to metamorphic?
Meta-igneous. Metamorphism of igneous rocks can form a wide range of metamorphic rocks, depending on the mineralogy of the igneous protolith and the P-T conditions of the metamorphism.
Is it true that Fossils are frequently found in metamorphic rock?
No, fossils are typically not found in metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure, which can destroy any fossils present. Fossils are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks where the conditions for preservation are more favorable.
Are unakite rocks Sedimentary rocks Metamorphic rocks or Igneous rocks?
Unakite rocks are metamorphic rocks formed from the alteration of igneous rocks. They are typically composed of pink feldspar, green epidote, and clear quartz.
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that?
Usually have a rougher texture

What are rocks made when other rocks are subject to intense pressure and heat?
Metamorphic rocks may be formed.
How do metamorphic rocks form from metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rocks form from layers of sand, silt or clay, sometimes mixed with pebbles, and the bodies of living things (that may the be fossilised) The rocks are often quite soft. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks (usually sedimentary rocks) are subjected to extreme heat and/or pressure, usually deep underground. The rocks are changed in form, often becoming harder. Fossils are usually destroyed by the process.
What are the texture groups for metamorphic rocks?
usually smooth i think.

What needs to be applied to igneous or sedimentary rocks to form metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rock is usually formed from the application of heat and/or pressure to existing rock.

What rocks have foliated structure?
"Foliated" rocks are usually metamorphic rocks like phyllite, slate, schist, and gneiss.
