What 2 things are required to produce metamorphic rock?

Heat and pressure are required to produce metamorphic rock from sedimentary or igneous rock.


How do metamorphic rocks form from metamorphic rocks?

Sedimentary rocks form from layers of sand, silt or clay, sometimes mixed with pebbles, and the bodies of living things (that may the be fossilised) The rocks are often quite soft. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks (usually sedimentary rocks) are subjected to extreme heat and/or pressure, usually deep underground. The rocks are changed in form, often becoming harder. Fossils are usually destroyed by the process.


What are 3 things that cause sedimentary rock to change to metamorphic rock?

Sedimentary rock is changed to metamorphic rock using: 1. High pressure 2. High heat 3. A large amount of time


Is there a sentence with the word rock cycle?

Igneous rock can weather and become sedimentary rock . Metamorphic rock can be melted in a volcano and become igneous rock. Igneous rock and sedimentary rock can be heated and pressurized to form metamorphic rock.


What two things can metamorphic rock change into?

Metamorphic rock can change into igneous rock through melting and solidification, or into sedimentary rock through weathering, erosion, and lithification.


What conditions can cause a sedimentary or igneous rock to change into a metamorphic rocks?

The structure of rock, made of transformed crystals or organic particles or both, is susceptible to changes from heat, pressure, or chemicals. Many times these things operate in concert. Metamorphosis comes about because a) there is a chemical percolating through the material, or b) the rock is under a lot of underground pressure, or c) the rock is heated underground. Usually b) and c) operate together, but not always, and this is the most common way for "metamorphic" rocks to form.


What are the characteristics of Earth's crust?

the source of resources necessary for the survival of living things


What 2 things are applied to igneous or sedimentary rocks that make metamorphic rocks form?

Heat and pressure are applied to igneous or sedimentary rocks to make metamorphic rocks form. Heat causes mineral grains to recrystallize, while pressure helps to rearrange the mineral structure within the rock.


What are two things that sediments may change to?

Sediments can change into sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation. They can also be eroded and transported to new locations by forces like wind and water.


What three things can happen to a sedimentary rock in the rock cycle?

A sedimentary rock can undergo metamorphism to form a metamorphic rock, can be weathered and eroded into sediment, or can be buried deep in the Earth to undergo lithification to form a new sedimentary rock.


What are three things that can change sedimentary rocks?

Heat and pressure from tectonic forces can metamorphose sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks. Weathering and erosion can break down sedimentary rocks into smaller particles or clasts. Hydrothermal fluids can alter the mineral composition of sedimentary rocks through processes like recrystallization.
