What three factors can create metamorphic rocks?

Answer 1

there are not three factors. Metamophic rocks are formed by heat and pressure. the heat sort of melts it slowly while the pressure compacts it. For an animation of the formation go to http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/visualizations/es0607/es0607page01.cfm?chapter_no=visualization :)

Answer 2

Heat, pressure, and the presence of chemically active fluids can all contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks. Heat and pressure alter the existing rock's mineral composition and texture, while chemically active fluids facilitate the movement of ions and minerals within the rock.

Answer 3

Well, rocks are often subjected to heat and pressure underground. The heat is not enough to melt the rocks, but it causes changes. it can cause new mineral grains to grow. This creates Metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from igneous, sedimentary, or other types of Metamorphic rocks.

Answer 4

Metamorphic rocks form from other parent rocks that can be igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic. Factors that lead to their formation are increase in pressure, increased heat and changes in chemical formation of the parent rocks.

Answer 5

Intrusion of magma into veins, crustal collision, meteor impact.
