What is the term when rocks are formed when older rocks are heated or squeezed?
If it is squeezed and heated sufficiently to realign the minerals or form new minerals, it is called a metamorphic rock. If it is squeezed and heated enough to melt, then solidify, it would be called an igneous rock.
Rocks formed when older rocks are heated and or squeezed are called?
If it is squeezed and heated sufficiently to realign the minerals or form new minerals, it is called a metamorphic rock. If it is squeezed and heated enough to melt, then solidify, it would be called an igneous rock.
What rock is squeezed and heated to form marble?
Limestone is the rock that is squeezed and heated to form marble. The high pressures and temperatures cause the limestone to recrystallize and become the metamorphic rock known as marble.
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.
What happens when metamorphic rocks are heated?
When metamorphic rocks are heated, the minerals within the rock may undergo recrystallization, transforming into new minerals. This process can lead to the development of new textures and structures in the rock. However, excessive heat can cause the minerals to melt and reform as igneous rocks.
Rocks that are created when existing rocks are heated or squeezed?
Metamorphic rock
When the metamorphic rock schist is heated and squeezed it forms what?
When schist is further heated and squeezed, it can form gneiss, another type of metamorphic rock. Gneiss is characterized by its banded texture and high-grade metamorphism.

What counditions are necessary in order for metamorphic rock to form?
solid rock must be squeezed and heated to high temperatures.
What Sedimentary rocks is converted into metamorphic rock with the addition of?
Sedimentary rock is converted into metamorphic rock with exposure to heat, pressure, heated mineral solutions, or a combination of any of them.
How are stones formed?
There are 3 types of rock : Igneous - comes from molten lava. Sedimentary - rock dust squeezed back into rock. Metamorphic - either of the other two types after it gets heated and squeezed.
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.
How can a metamorphic rock turn into sedimentary rock and then back to metamorphic?
metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......
