What else can I help you with?
Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks can form at high temperatures and pressures What is the difference between these two rock types?
Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of molten magma or lava, whereas metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to high pressure, temperature, or both. Igneous rocks originate from molten material, whereas metamorphic rocks are formed by recrystallization processes without melting.
Can metamorphic rocks turn into diamonds?
Yes, diamonds are formed deep underground under high pressure and temperature conditions. Metamorphic rocks are one of the rock types where diamonds can be formed, typically through the process of metamorphism of carbon-bearing rocks like shale or limestone. However, not all metamorphic rocks can turn into diamonds as specific geological conditions are required for their formation.
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
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.
How does metamorphic rock formation compare to igneous rock formation?
Igneous rocks are formed in and around volcanos, metamorphic rocks are formed by the partial melting of rocks deep underground.
Are metamorphic rocks naturally formed?
Metamorphic rocks are naturally formed. they are formed from natural changes that happen to other rocks.
How is magnetite created?
Magnetite is created through sedimentary rocks. They are also formed by metamorphic rocks. Magnetite is found in underground mining regions.
Where is one place to find metamorphic rocks that are formed quickly?
deep underground at the base of mountains. Hope this was helpful.
Are metamorphic rocks only formed by igneous rocks?
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
What rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks?
the metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and extreme pressure from other rocks
Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks can form at high temperatures and pressures What is the difference between these two rock types?
Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of molten magma or lava, whereas metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to high pressure, temperature, or both. Igneous rocks originate from molten material, whereas metamorphic rocks are formed by recrystallization processes without melting.
What kind of rock does a metamorphic rock start as?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks.
Can metamorphic rocks be formed from changes in igneous sedimentary or other metamorphic rocks?
yes
What rock Can only form underground?
What type of rock is formed from magma that hardens underground?
Can metamorphic rocks turn into diamonds?
Yes, diamonds are formed deep underground under high pressure and temperature conditions. Metamorphic rocks are one of the rock types where diamonds can be formed, typically through the process of metamorphism of carbon-bearing rocks like shale or limestone.
