What is a short description of metamorphic rocks?

Answer 1

Brick is baked mud, and as such, can be considered to be sedimentary.

Answer 2

Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing changes in their mineral composition, texture, or structure. They typically form deep within the Earth's crust and can exhibit banding or foliation due to the rearrangement of minerals under intense heat and pressure. Some common examples include marble, slate, and schist.

Answer 3

A metamorphic rock is a rock that was altered due to heat and/or pressure. Typically, metamorphic rocks were originally sedimentary rocks or igneous rocks; however, you can alter a metamorphic rock as well.

Answer 4

its a rock with the word metamorphic in front of it

Answer 5

Metamorphic rock is formed from other types of rock when the original rock is subjected to high temperatures or pressure. Metamorphic rock comprises most of the Earth's crust.

Answer 6

Metamorphic rocks are sedimentary or igneous rocks that have been altered by heat and/or pressure.

Answer 7

A metamorphic rock is a rock that has been transformed by heat and or pressure.

Answer 8

Bricks are made from clay and are baked to make them strong and resistant to weathering. Bricks are "metamorphosed" because they have different properties than dried up clay.

Answer 9

A metamorphic rock was once a sedimentary rock, but under heat and pressure, it deforms the layers of the sedimentary rock making it metamorphic.

Answer 10

Metamorphic rock can be describe in many ways. Contact or regional metamorphism. They are usually formed from high temp/pressure and can be sub devided into foliation and non foliation.
