Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
What else can I help you with?
Can metamorphic rock form out of other metamorphic rock?
No.
How metmorphic rock form?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks which have changed from one form to another due to intense heat or pressure. Any rock (sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous) can be changed into a metamorphic rock.
Can metamorphic rocks from from other metamorphic rocks?
Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.
Is black tourmaline metamorphic?
Black tourmaline, also known as schorl, is not classified as a metamorphic rock itself; rather, it is a mineral that can form in various geological environments, including igneous and metamorphic settings. It is commonly found in granite and other crystalline rocks and can also occur in metamorphic rocks where it may form from the alteration of other minerals. While the mineral can be associated with metamorphic processes, it is not exclusively a metamorphic mineral.
A foliated metamorphic rock when crystals?
A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals combine and form visible bands
Can metamorphic rock form out of other metamorphic rock?
No.
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks form form other metamorphic rocks?
yes, all rocks can form from all others depending on pressure, etc
Do metamorphic rocks form quickly?
No
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.
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.
What are the main things that cause metamorphic rocks to form?
the main things that cause metamorphic rocks to form is heat, pressure and chemical fluids.
Where is the metamorphic rock located?
under ground, where it gets compacted and squeezed to form metamorphic rock.
Where is metamorphic rock located?
under ground, where it gets compacted and squeezed to form metamorphic rock.
What has to increase for metamorphic rock to occur?
You need to increase heat and / or pressure for a metamorphic rock to form.
Can sedimentary rock form directly from metamorphic rock?
Yes, sedimentary rock can form from metamorphic rock through a process called retrograde metamorphism. In this process, metamorphic rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion to form sediment, which can then be compacted and cemented to form new sedimentary rock.
