What is it called when rocks that have been changed by high heat or very high pressure?
Rocks that have been changed by high heat or very high pressure are called metamorphic rocks. This transformation process is known as metamorphism, which alters the mineral composition and structure of the original rock, known as the protolith. Examples of metamorphic rocks include schist, gneiss, and marble.

What are metamorphoic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been changed by heat, pressure, or chemical processes within the Earth's crust. These changes can alter the mineral composition, texture, and structure of the rock, resulting in new characteristics. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
Metamorphic Rocks form from existing rocks that have been heated and squeezed?
Yes, a metamorphic rocks is an existing rock that has been transformed via heat and pressure.
Which kind of rocks are in which the structure texture or composition have been changed?
Metamophic Rock :)
Type of rock has been changed from one type into another?
Metamorphic rocks are those which have changed type due to heat, presssure or some other geologic agent.
How do metamorphic rocks layer?
a metamorphic rock is a rock that has been changed from one rock to another by heat and/or pressure.....they amount of layers would depend on what kind of rock.....all rocks have a different amount of layers sorry
What rocks are changed by high tempatures and high pressure?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can be changed by high temperatures and pressure, and the resultant rock is called metamorphic, because its form has been changed.
Changed rocks are called?
Changed rocks are called metamorphic. Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, through the use of heat and pressure.Metamorphic rocks
What rock is igneous or sedimentary rock that has been changed by extreme pressure or heat?
The rock that has been changed by extreme pressure or heat is called metamorphic rock. It can form from igneous, sedimentary, or existing metamorphic rocks that undergo changes in temperature and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and gneiss.
What rocks are formed from high temperature and pressures?
Rocks formed from high temperature and pressure include metamorphic rocks such as marble, schist, and gneiss. These rocks are created deep within the Earth's crust through the transformation of existing rock types under intense heat and pressure conditions.
What is rock that is changed by heat pressure or chemical change?
Metamorphic rocks have been changed by heat or pressure. This can be a change in size, shape, or arrangement of minerals.
How are metamorphic rocks igneous rock and sedimentary rocks different?
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
Rocks are rocks that have changed from one type of rock to another?
Yes. Igneous rocks have been charged from other rocks by melting followed by solidification. Sedimentary rocks have been changed from other rocks by weathering, erosion, deposition, and consolidation. Metamorphic rocks have been changed from other rocks by pressure and heat.
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have what?
a metamorphic rock which has been changed by climate ,pressure or acid in things like rain.Example of metamorphic rocks;Slate and Marble. Hope I helped answer your question.
Is metamorphic rocks not natural?
Metamorphic rock is natural. It is rock that has been changed by exposure to high temperature or high pressure. "Metamorphic" means "changed."
Example of summary?
Precambrian rocks have been so deeply buried that they have changed by heat and pressure. That's a summary about the Precambrian time.
How has the stonhenge changed?
More Rocks Have Been Placed On Top Of The Other Rocks
Can rock be made of other rock?
Sedimentary rocks are rocks made out of sediment, which is often other rocks ground down to powder. Metamorphic rocks are sedimentary rocks that have been changed (partially melted and hardened) by being exposed to extreme heat and pressure. So, yes.
