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.
Can metamorphic rocks be produced by heat alone?
Yes. Proximity to a heat source can be enough to cause metamorphism of rock.
Igneous and sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat They will most likely form?
If igneous rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to recrystallize into new igneous rocks. On the other hand, if sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to metamorphose into metamorphic rocks.
What rocks result from heat and pressure melting into magma?
sedimentary rocks
What is source of cold?
Cold is the absence of heat. No doubt about it . . . take away enough heat, and you can make anything cold.
How temperature weather rocks?
Rocks expand due to heat and contract due to cold. Thus, due to unequal expansion and contraction ,the rocks tend to break and get weathered. Rocks expand due to heat and contract due to cold. Thus, due to unequal expansion and contraction ,the rocks tend to break and get weathered.
How heat and cold affect rocks?
Heat and cold affect/break the rocks when the weather changes .. The weather changes : 1. Warm/Very Warm/Calm Warm 2. Cold/Very Cold/Calm Cold I hope this answer helps ... - just visit me at facebook @DannahMarie .... like it or not that's my OFFICIAL ANSWER ...
Why are rocks cold?
Because A rock is dense solid, it like to retain heat. the reason it is cold is because at night its cold, and so the rock slowly gets cold. rocks are not always cold, exposed to sunlight for sustained amounts of time and the rock will feel hot. break the hot rock open and the inside will be cold because of its tempature retention from the night before.
How do yaks survive the desert heat?
Yaks are primarily mountain or plateau animals and are designed to resist cold and are not really desert animals.
It is composed of harder rocks that resist erosion?
Igneous rock.
How does heat and cold cause weathering?
Heat causes expansion of rocks, leading to stress and eventual breakdown due to thermal fatigue. Cold temperatures can cause rocks to contract, leading to cracking and weakening of their structure over time. This constant expansion and contraction due to temperature fluctuations can accelerate the weathering process.
Could heat melt rocks?
Yes heat could melt 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
Can extreme temperatures break down rocks?
I will say yes on this one. It will cause them to crack, both extreme cold and heat. A rock will also melt with extreme heat. Not sure of the temp.
Why do lizards lay on rocks?
As cold-blooded animals, lizards cannot produce their own body heat, so they need to obtain it from their environment. Rocks hold in heat much better than air, so lizards often lie on them to warm themselves.

Rocks changed by heat and pressure?
metamorphic rocks
