What else can I help you with?
Where would you find exposed metamorphic rocks?
Because metamorphic rocks from very deep underground, they have to be brought to the surface by some geologic processes before they are exposed. There are many processes that could do this, but the most common is a mountain building event. Mountainous areas often have very large areas of exposed metamorphic rocks.
When shale is exposed to heat and pressure this metamorphic rock is formed?
gneiss
How do metamorphic rocks become metamorphic rocks?
A metamorphic rock is an igneous, sedimentary, or another metamorphic rock that has been: 1) squeezed by incredible pressures deep underground, 2) has been exposed to very hot fluids, 3) has been exposed to very high temperatures without melt occurring, 4) combinations of numbers 1-3. Rock exposed to these conditions can be metamorphosed, altering its structure, mineral alignment, and possibly its chemistry.
What is an example of the metamorphic process of rock sandstone that is broken up into small pieces shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate?
Shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate is an example of the metamorphic process.
When limestone is exposed to intense heat and pressure it becomes what metamorphic rock?
When limestone is exposed to intense heat and pressure, it metamorphoses into a rock called marble. Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when the calcite crystals in limestone recrystallize and interlock.
When sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure's what does it change into?
Metamorphic rock

Insects live in the metamorphic rock?
Insects can perform their life functions in and around the cracks and fissures of exposed weathered metamorphic rock.

Shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate is an example of the metamorphic process.
What type of rock is formed when other rocks are exposed to great heat and pressure?
Metamorphic.
When limestone is exposed to intense heat and pressure it becomes what metamorphic rock?
When limestone is exposed to intense heat and pressure, it metamorphoses into a rock called marble. Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when the calcite crystals in limestone recrystallize and interlock.
How does metamorphic change to igneous?
Metamorphic rock which is exposed to increasing heat and pressure from various sources can eventually melt. If this melt then solidifies, it has become igneous rock.
Within the earth what happens to the rock when it is exposed to very high temperatures?
it melts.
Igneous and sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat They will most likely form?
If igneous rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to recrystallize into new igneous rocks. On the other hand, if sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to metamorphose into metamorphic rocks.
Can metamorphic rocks be part of an isolated system?
No. They will either be subducted into the mantle or uplifted and/or exposed to erosion.
