Rocks produced at great depths are typically metamorphic or igneous rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks that undergo changes in temperature and pressure, while igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of molten material. These processes occur deep within the Earth's crust or mantle.

Most earthquakes are produced by the rapid release of which kind of energy stored in rock subjected to great forces?

Most earthquakes are produced by the rapid release of seismic energy stored in rock subjected to great forces. This energy is built up due to tectonic plate movements and is released suddenly when the rock fractures along a fault line.

Why there is no sedimentary rock deep in Earth's crust?

Below certain depths the heat and pressure will turn sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock.


What type of rocks are produced from the molten material deep beneath the surface of the Earth called magma?

Such rock is referred to as plutonic igneous rock if it is part of a large solidified mass of magma at large depths in the crust, or as intrusive igneous rock if simply solidified at some depth within the crust. Plutonic igneous rock is therefore a type of intrusive igneous rock.


How it is possible whether an igneous rock was formed at great depths and shallow depths?

I'm not sure if you question has been translated, or just poorly worded - for my answer I will assume that the question is "How is it possible to determine whether an igneous rock was formed at great depths or shallow depths?"Igneous rock can be basically translated as 'fire rock'...ie, molten stone that has taken form as it cooled. Cooling at shallow depths, or on the surface, such as magma that has come from a volcano and cools at the surface is often rapid - which (in general) makes for a softer stone, often with air pockets visible in it, such as pumice or scoria. Magma that cools far below the surface usually cools much slower, and often under pressure, so it tends to make for a much denser, less pock marked stone, such as granite - rocks that cool slower and under pressure also tend to have a more crystaline structure, rather than the granular structure that is more common in surface cooled rocks.

What type of rock is produced under conditions involving great heat?

Rock produced under intense heat are known as igneous. Basalt, pumice and granite are three common (and useful)l examples of igneous rocks.


What is it called when a rock changes?

Metamorphism....A metamorphic rock is a rock formed when it undergoes chemical reactions,tremendous heat and great pressure to form a new kind of rock from an existing one.
