What else can I help you with?
Within the earth what happens to the rock when it is exposed to very high temperatures?
it melts.
What kind of rock is forms when heat and pressure of mountain building change sedimentary rock?
The sedimentary rock gets transformed into metamorphic rock under the heat and pressure of mountain-building processes. Examples of metamorphic rocks formed from sedimentary rocks include marble from limestone and schist from shale.
Can metamorphic rock form out of other metamorphic rock?
No.
How can a rock be transformed into a metamorphic rock?
Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.
How would metamorphic rock change into a new metamorphic rock?
the
What happens when metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock continues to heat and eventually melts and becomes igneous rocks.
What happens to metamorphic rock when its melts?
it turns into magma
What happens when you melt a metamorphic rock?
it turns into sand
For metamorphic rock to become igneous rock what steps are necessary?
Metamorphic rock can not become igneous rock, however igneous rock can become metamorphic. This process happens over time as the rocks are shifted, compressed and heated by the Earth.
What happens to the energy inside the rock as metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks gain enegry as they are melted by magma and then lose energy as they cool into igneous rocks.
What happens to a sedimentary rock after weathering?
I becomes sediments again or becomes igneous or metamorphic rock
What happens to metamorphic rock when it goes through erosion?
it turns into sediment
How long for a sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock?
This sort of transformation usually happens over geological timescales.
Within the earth what happens to the rock when it is exposed to very high temperatures?
it melts.
What type of rock is slate?
A metamorphic rock.
What can you find in a metamorphic rock?
in a metamorphic rock you find rock.
What happens to Rock Salt when heat and pressure is applied?
Rock salt would not form a metamorphic rock, due to its dissolution under metamorphic stresses. The solution would be forced elsewhere, but small amounts could recrystallize as a small component of another metamorphic rock.
