Where do metamorphism rocks form?
where do metamorphic rocks form, the mantle crust or core?Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have "morphed" into another kind of rock. These rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks. How do sedimentary and igneous rocks change? The rocks are under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change. If you exam metamorphic rock samples closely, you'll discover how flattened some of the grains in the rock are. this is how they are formed.
What materials form Metamorphic Rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from materials of pre-existing rocks of any form due to mainly increase in temperature, pressure and stress.
How does metaporhic rocks form?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have "morphed" into another kind of rock. These rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks. How do sedimentary and igneous rocks change? The rocks are under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change. If you exam metamorphic rock samples closely, you'll discover how flattened some of the grains in the rock are.
Can metamorphic rocks from from other metamorphic rocks?
Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
Which type of rock forms when exteme heat and pressure is applied?
Heat and pressure causes Metamorphic Rocks to form.
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks form form other metamorphic rocks?
yes, all rocks can form from all others depending on pressure, etc
What causes metamorphic rock to form at plate boundries?
The pressure between earth plates creates metamorphic rock because when applying pressure rocks change to a metamorphic rock.
What are the causes of the metamorphic rocks?
Heat and pressure.
What rocks form from existing rocks?
metamorphic rock

What rocks recrystallize to form metamorphic?
Igneous rocks, Sedimentary rocks and pre-existing Metamorphic rocks.
Do metamorphic rocks form quickly?
No
When rocks are metamorphosed the pressure causes them to become what?
Deformed, and change into metamorphic rocks.
