What happens as a result of molten rocks building up pressure under earths crust?
An erupting volcano occurs when the pressure of the molten lava beneath becomes too great.
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.
Describe what happens to rock during pressure release?
Rock deep within the Earth is under great pressure from the rocks around it. As the rock above it is weathered and eroded, it moves closer to the surface, and the pressure from above is lessened. What happens to the uplifting rock that was once under great pressure depends on the rock type, but can vary from simple exfoliation of its surface to widespread cracking and faulting of the rock body from the release of pressure.
When rocks stack up on each other what metamorphism happens?
When rocks stack on top of each other, particularly under significant pressure, the process of regional metamorphism can occur. This type of metamorphism typically happens over large areas, often associated with tectonic forces that create mountain ranges. The increased pressure and temperature cause changes in the mineral composition and texture of the rocks, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks such as schist or gneiss.
Which type of rocks are produced from other type of rocks under high temperature and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks are produced from other types of rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or existing metamorphic rocks) under high temperature and pressure conditions. The existing rocks undergo changes in mineral composition and texture without melting. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, schist, and gneiss.
Rocks at great depths are under?
Rocks at great depths are under high pressure and temperature due to the weight of the overlying rocks. This can cause the rocks to undergo changes in texture and composition, such as metamorphism, and can also influence the behavior of fluids within the rocks.
What happens as a result of molten rocks building up pressure under earths crust?
An erupting volcano occurs when the pressure of the molten lava beneath becomes too great.
What happens before rocks give way in an earthquake?
pressure builds under the plates
Why metamorphic rocks appear to be flattened or crushed?
Becausethey are under a great pressure under the Earth's surface.
What is the name of the rock that is put under great pressure within the earth?
metamorphic rocks
What is pressure release OMG HELP PLZZZ?
Pressure release:Rock deep within earth is under great pressure from surrounding rocks
How does sedimentry change into metamorphic?
Sedimentary rocks change under great pressure and temperature condition to form metamorphic rocks
Does exposure to air help metamorphic rocks form?
No metamorphic rocks are formed deep in the crust under great temperature and pressure. No air is down there.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?

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.
What happens if a submarine dives to deep?
The pressure gets too great and the submarine implodes. The deeper you go under water the more pressure there is.
What can melt rocks without changing temperature when their confining pressure?
The process of partial melting can occur in rocks under high confining pressure, where the minerals in the rock start to melt without the overall temperature changing. This happens because the pressure lowers the melting point of the minerals. The supercritical fluids in Earth's mantle can also cause rocks to melt without a change in temperature under the high pressure conditions.
Which type of rocks are produced from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
