What else can I help you with?
Can metamorphic rocks be produced by heat alone?
Yes. Proximity to a heat source can be enough to cause metamorphism of rock.
What rock is formed when sandstone is exposed to heat and pressure?
Igneous rocks-after having the chance to cool down after a melt (metamorphic rocks need pressure as well)
In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
When rocks return to the Earth's mantle they can eventually melt and become magma. and are the main factors that control this change.?
pressure and heat
What does heat have to do with the rock cycle?
Heat plays a crucial role in the rock cycle by driving processes such as melting, metamorphism, and recrystallization. High temperatures can cause rocks to melt and form magma, which can then cool and solidify to create igneous rocks. Heat can also cause existing rocks to undergo metamorphism, changing their texture and mineral composition.
Could heat melt rocks?
Yes heat could melt rocks
How a solid change into a liquid?
Many solids will change into liquids if you heat them, for instance most metals will melt when subjected to heat, ice will become water when heated, some plastics will melt, glass will melt, and most rocks will also melt.

Yes. Proximity to a heat source can be enough to cause metamorphism of rock.

Does rocks have to melt in order to change form?
No, if it's with heat like magma or lava, yes, that's what changes it. (:
In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
The heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt in the lower part of the Earth's mantle, known as the asthenosphere. This is where the temperature and pressure conditions allow for rocks to melt and form magma.
What type of rock can change into an igneous rock?
Igneous rocks can change into metamorphic rocks from great heat and pressure as all other rocks can, melt into magma, the molten rock, and erode into sediment, which are rock fragments.

How do rocks change from metamorphic or sedimentary rocks to igneous rocks?
Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks can change into igneous rocks through the process of melting and cooling. When subjected to intense heat and pressure, the rocks can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify, forming igneous rocks.
