From increased pressure and/or heat. Fluid removal results in hydrous mineral destruction and non-hydrous mineral creation, resulting in rock of a different mineralogy.
A metamorphic rock can be further metamorphosed by additional heat and/or pressure into a rock with a higher degree of metamorphism. An example of this would be the metamorphic rock slate changing into the metamorphic rock phyllite.
What else can I help you with?
What process turns rock from one type to another?
Metamorphic rock cycle
What is the main type of energy to help convert rocks into metamorphic rocks?
The melting and cooling of a metamorphic rock will allow it to turn into an Igneous rock.
Type of rock has been changed from one type into another?
Metamorphic rocks are those which have changed type due to heat, presssure or some other geologic agent.
What type of rock forms when heat and pressure change one type of rock into another?
Changes in the structure, texture, or mineralogy of existing rocks will create a metamorphic rock. Metamorphism can result from the effects of heat and/or pressure, or from the addition of ions from heated fluids. Examples of metamorphic rock are slate, schist, and gneiss.
What does sand turn into when under high pressure and high temperature?
When sand is subjected to high pressure and high temperature, it can transform into a type of metamorphic rock called quartzite. Quartz grains in the sand recrystallize and fuse together under these conditions, resulting in the formation of a hard, compact rock with a granular texture.
What type of rock does sedimentary rock turn into when it is buried?
metamorphic
What type of rock may sedimentary rock turn into?
Metamorphic or new sedimentary rock.
How does metamorphic rock turn into another type of rock?
Metamorphic rock can turn into another type of rock through processes like weathering and erosion, which break down the rock into sediment. This sediment can then undergo compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rock, or melt and cool to form igneous rock through processes like metamorphism.
What type of rock can form metamorphic rocks?
Any rock can undergo metamorphism, be it sedimentary, igneous or even the transformation of one type of metamorphic rock to another.
What process turns rock from one type to another?
Metamorphic rock cycle
What are the way metamorphic rock Chang?
heat time pressure these can all cause a metamorphic rock to change to another type of rock such as igneous
What is the main type of energy to help convert rocks into metamorphic rocks?
The melting and cooling of a metamorphic rock will allow it to turn into an Igneous rock.
What rock used to be another kind of rock?
A metamorphic rock used to be a different rock type, typically sedimentary.
What is a protolith?
A metamorphic rock changes from one form to another by intense heat or pressue. The parent rock, or protolith, is the rock that undergoes change. It can be any rock type, sedimentary, igneous, and even metamorphic.
Rocks experience Greater heat and pressure what type of rock will they turn into if they do not melt?
metamorphic
What type of rocks cannot turn into sedimentary rocks?
No rock. Any rock can turn into sedimentary rock, such as granite (igneous rock) and slate (metamorphic rock). Even sedimentary rock can turn into other sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is slate?
A metamorphic rock.
