Which metamorphic rocks are most likely to have formed the highest temperatures and pressures?
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that meets those criteria.
Which metamorphic rocks are most likely to have formed at the highest temperatures and pressure?
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that meets those criteria.
Nonfoliated metamorphic rock definition?
Nonfoliated metamorphic rocks are formed around igneous intrusions where the temperatures are high but the pressures are relatively low and equal in all directions (confining pressure).
Are metamorphic rocks formed above or below ground?
Metamorphic rocks are formed below ground through the process of metamorphism, where existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures causing their mineral structure to change. This process typically occurs deep within the Earth's crust.
Slate and marble are examples of what kind of rock family?
Slate and marble are examples of metamorphic rocks. They are formed when existing rocks undergo high temperatures and pressures, causing them to recrystallize into new forms with different characteristics.

Rock formed by heat and pressure?
Rock formed by heat and pressure is called metamorphic rock. It is created when existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing them to recrystallize into new forms. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and gneiss.
Are metamorphic rocks formed by low temperatures and pressures acting on existing rock?
Care need to be taken with terminology here! Metamorphic rocks are formed by an increase in either the temperature or pressure (or both) acting on a rock. As such the temperatures and pressures need to be "higher" than those currently occurring. However the increased temperature and pressure may still be considered "low" in broad terms as there are varying grades of metamorphism which are dependant on the temperature and pressure at which specific metamorphic minerals are formed.
How is metarmorphic rock made?
Metamorphic Rock is made from Igneous or sedimentary rock by experiencing extremely high pressures and temperatures. e.g. slate is formed from shail marble is formed from limestone
What two rock types are formed by transfer of heat?
Igneous an Metamorphic are the two types of rock that are formed with the help of heat .
Are metamorphic rocks formed above or below ground?
Metamorphic rocks are formed below ground through the process of metamorphism, where existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures causing their mineral structure to change. This process typically occurs deep within the Earth's crust.
Do metamorphic rocks have different kinds of minerals from their parent rocks?
Of course they can. The overall compositions of the rocks will remain the same (assuming a closed system, which isn't always the case), but mineralogically there will be changes due to metamorphic pressures and temperatures. There are a whole list of minerals which only formed from metamorphic processes.
Slate and marble are examples of what kind of rock family?
Slate and marble are examples of metamorphic rocks. They are formed when existing rocks undergo high temperatures and pressures, causing them to recrystallize into new forms with different characteristics.
Type of rocks made when other rocks are subjected to heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing them to recrystallize and change form without melting. Examples include marble, slate, and quartzite.
Is igneous rock made from pressure?
Igneous rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, not from pressure. Pressure plays a role in metamorphic rock formation, where existing rocks are subjected to high pressures and temperatures.
