What else can I help you with?
Which type of rock would you expect to exist deep in the Earth's crust?
Igneous rock is typically found deep in the Earth's crust, formed from the solidification of magma. This process occurs at high temperatures and pressures found deep underground. Examples include granite and basalt.
What would be a correct statement regarding metamorphic rock formation?
the deeper into earth crust the higher the pressure that forms metamorphic rocks
When metamorphic rock changes to magma the magma rises and cools to become?
A metamorphic rock is formed by the elements, minor heat, and compression. When the metamorphic rock is melted by magma, this would indicate that the metamorphic rock is under the surface of the earth. If it rises and cools again you will have an extrusive igneous rock. In a lot of cases, this is metamorphic rock on the surface under the influence of lava. This would change the composition and it would not longer be metamorphic, but rather igneous.
Why the earth doesn't sink?
Into what exactly would you expect it to sink?
How would metamorphic rock change into a new metamorphic rock?

Why would you not expect to find obsidian deep in the recesses of the earth?
Obsidian is another name for "volcanic glass". For a glass to form the molten lava must be cooled very, very quickly. The deep recesses of the Earth are not cold, they are warm and this means that molten lave intruded into the deep recesses of the Earth will not cool quickly and thus Obsidian can never form in these conditions. Obsidian can only form at the surface. However, there is one other way for a glass to be produced in Geology and that is by the heating generated by friction during a fault movement. This type of glass is called a "pseudotachylyte". These ARE generated in the deep recesses of the Earth.

How would the word recesses be use in a sentence?
The room has two recesses fitted with wall to ceiling bookshelves.

Would you expect to find dinosaur bone in a metamorphic rock like schist explain?
no, because the extreme heat that metamorphic rocks must undergo to form would have burned the dinosaur fossil, or any fossil!
How would you spell recess in plural?
The plural is "recesses".

What do you call a metamorphic rock that melts beneath the Earth's surface?
At the point of total melt, it would be called magma. Metamorphic rock that exhibits partial melting is called migmatite.
Would you expect to find foliated or nonfoliated metamorphic rocks next to a lava flow?
. I would expect to find nonfoliated rock next to a lava flow because the rock can form when rock is subjected to high temperatures. Hornfels, which often forms when magma or lava touches other rock, is nonfoliated.
What causes foliation on a metamorphic rock under what cirumstances would you expect this to happen?
Foliation is created when pressure pushes different parts of the rock in different directions.
Why would you expect a metamorphic form at a temperature lower than the melting point of a rock?
if rock melts it will form magma, which leads to the formation of igneous rocks
