What kind of rock forms when heat and pressure of mountain building change sedimentary rock?

Metamorphic rock forms when heat and pressure alter existing sedimentary rock. This process causes the mineral composition and texture of the rock to change, resulting in a new type of rock with different characteristics. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.


Can high pressure can change an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?

No, high pressure alone cannot change an igneous rock into sedimentary rock; however, the reverse is true. High pressure can change sedimentary rock into igneous rock.


What process is needed to change sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?

The process needed to change sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock is called metamorphism. Metamorphism occurs when sedimentary rocks are subjected to high heat and pressure within the Earth's crust, causing them to recrystallize and form new mineral structures without melting. This process can happen due to tectonic forces during mountain building, or deep burial within the Earth's crust.
