What else can I help you with?
How are sedimentary and metamorphic rocks similar and different?
They are both rocks. Sedimentary can contain metamorphic rocks. and vice versa.
How does metamorphic rock chang into a sedimentary rock?
A sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock when there is heat, pressure, and time. -over a long period of time
How does metamorphic form?
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
How do a metamorphic rock change into sedimentary rock?
You squash it and heat it up.
How does sedimentary rock become a metamorphic rock?
Sedimentary rock can be metamorphosed by: a) exposure to heat by close proximity to a heat source such as a plutonic intrusion; b) from deep burial pressures; c) from directed pressure and heat from mountain building processes; d) chemical changes from exposure to heated fluids, the fluids heated by a plutonic intrusion. Metamorphism of sedimentary rocks can result in a realignment of mineral constituents, recrystallization, or new chemical compositions. .
Can metamorphic rocks melt to form sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary is formed by compression. Metamorphic is created by heat and pressure. Sedimentary can be melted to create metamorphic.
How do heat and pressure change sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
Does cementation help create both metamorphic rock and sedimentary rock?
No. Cementation is the process of rock clasts or sediments being joined by the precipitation of cementing minerals, usually quartz, calcite, or iron to create a sedimentary rock. Metamorphic rock is the alteration of existing rock due to heat and pressure.
CAN Metamorphic rocks occur from sedimentary and igneous rocks?
Yes, both sedimentary and igneous rock can be metamorphosed by heat and pressure.
What helps create both metamorphic rock and sedimentary rocks?
Both metamorphic rocks and sedimentary rocks can be created through processes like heat and pressure (metamorphism), as well as erosion, transport, deposition, and lithification (sedimentation). Metamorphic rocks form when pre-existing rocks undergo intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust, while sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of sediments over time.
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks through the process of heat and pressure, but they are more commonly associated with forming from existing metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks can indirectly contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks by heating up and altering surrounding rocks, leading to the formation of new metamorphic rocks.
How does metamorphic rock into sedimentary rock?
by heat & pressure
Can sedimentary rock be turned into metamorphic rock?
Yes it can, a sedimentary rock goes through heat and pressure and is formed into a metamorphic rock.
How do sedimentary rocks go from the sea bed to be turned into metamorphic?
sedimentary rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks by the use of pressure and/or heat
When sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure's what does it change into?
Metamorphic rock
Who is correct a metamorphic rock is formed from a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock can form from an igneous rock?
A metamorphic rock can form from either a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock. When subjected to high heat and pressure, existing rocks can recrystallize and change into new types of rocks, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
How are sedimentary and metamorphic rocks similar and different?
They are both rocks. Sedimentary can contain metamorphic rocks. and vice versa.
