What causes clay to turn into a metamorphic rock?

Heat and pressure.


What does clay like material that fell to a lake bottom turn into after a millions of years of pressure and heat?

Over millions of years, clay-like material that falls to a lake bottom is subject to intense pressure and heat. This results in an incredibly slow and gradual process of change. The clay-like material will transform into a sedimentary rock, such as shale or mudstone. These rocks are composed of particles of clay and other minerals that have been cemented together as a result of the pressure and heat. The sedimentary rock will also contain fossils and other evidence of the organisms that were present at the time the clay-like material was deposited. This is because the process of sedimentary rock formation preserves and encases the fossils and other organic material that was present in the clay-like material when it was deposited. Thus, after millions of years of pressure and heat, the clay-like material that fell to a lake bottom is transformed into a sedimentary rock containing fossils and other evidence of past life.


What does heat limestone with clay produce?

Heating limestone with clay produces cement, which is a key component in the production of concrete. This process is known as calcination, where limestone and clay ingredients are mixed and heated to high temperatures to form a substance called clinker.


What happens when solides are heated?

When a solid is heated the particles vibrate more and they break free of the mold they are in. This makes the solid a liquid. if you continue to heat it, the vibrations will get stronger and the particles will start to evaporate. When the particles evaporate, then it would be a gas.
