How can any rock be transformed into metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure transform rock to metamorphic rock.
What type of rock's name implies that the rock has been transformed?
Metamorphic, morph mean to change.
When sediments are transformed into metamorphic rock what helps to transform the material?
Sediments are transformed into metamorphic rock primarily through the processes of heat and pressure. As sediments are buried beneath layers of rock, the increase in temperature and pressure alters their mineral composition and texture. Additionally, the presence of chemically active fluids can facilitate chemical reactions, further contributing to the metamorphic transformation. This process is known as metamorphism.
Metamorphic Rocks form from existing rocks that have been heated and squeezed?
Yes, a metamorphic rocks is an existing rock that has been transformed via heat and pressure.
What kind of rock is forms when heat and pressure of mountain building change sedimentary rock?
The sedimentary rock gets transformed into metamorphic rock under the heat and pressure of mountain-building processes. Examples of metamorphic rocks formed from sedimentary rocks include marble from limestone and schist from shale.
How can any rock be transformed into metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure transform rock to metamorphic rock.
What rock is formed when coal is transformed to metamorphic rock?
shale
What type of rock's name implies that the rock has been transformed?
Metamorphic, morph mean to change.
What rock is formed when conglomerate is transformed to metamorphic rock?
It is called metaconglomerate.
How can sedimentary rock be transformed into metamorphic rock?
Exposure to heat and pressure
What rock is formed when limestone is transformed to a metamorphic rock?
Marble, or sometimes schist.
What rock was Diamond transformed before being a metamorphic rock?
Diamond is a mineral form of carbon. It is not a metamorphic rock, but a mineral formed from extreme heat and pressure.
What causes a rock to change in to a metamphic rock?
The application of heat and / or pressure causes a rock to be transformed into a metamorphic rock.
How can sedimentary rock be transformed into metamorphic rock through the application of heat and pressure?
Sedimentary rock can be transformed into metamorphic rock through the application of high heat and pressure. This process, known as metamorphism, causes the minerals in the sedimentary rock to recrystallize and reorganize, resulting in a new type of rock with different characteristics.
How can a metamorphic rock can be transformed onto a sedimentary rock?
it can be changed by weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.
What is rock formrd by heat or pressure?
Rock formed by heat and pressure becomes transformed and altered, such rock is called Metamorphic Rock.
Can an igneous rock be transformed diretly into a metamorphic rock?
Yes they can with intense head and pressure. Please check the rock cycle.
