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.


What type of rocks are metamorphic rocks formed from?

Metamorphic rocks are formed from existing rocks that undergo changes in temperature, pressure, or chemical reactions due to processes like heat and pressure from deep within the Earth's crust. These existing rocks can be sedimentary, igneous, or even other metamorphic rocks that get transformed into a new type of rock.


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.
