What can change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
I think pressure
When sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure's what does it change into?
Metamorphic rock
Which type of rock does sedimentary rock change into when buried?
Metamorphic rock, if buried deep enough.
What type of rock is Bogenfels Arch?
The arch is made up of either sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock. Most likely sedimentary because the layers in the arch are distinct, solid bands of color, whereas a metamorphic rocks have swirly bands of color from the emense pressure the rock went through. Another reason the rock might be sedimentary is because the arch opening would not be as large if the rock was metamorphic rock, which can whithstand more erosion than sedimentary rock.
Is organic rock a type of sedimentary rock?
ORGANIC SEDIMENTARY ROCK`s : Is a type of sedimentary rock because sedimentary rock has three types of sedimentary rock called clastic , chemical , and organic sedimentary rock so yes ORGANIC SEDIMENTARY ROCK is a type of sedimentary rock..........................................
Why does the color of sedimentary rock change during metamorphism?
The color of sedimentary rock changes during metamorphism due to minerals. New minerals introduced can change the color of the rock.
How does metamorphic rock turn to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks get turned in to metamorphic rocks by heat and pressure. They get heated by magma and convection currents, which causes the rock to change.
How can a sedimentary rock change into another sedimentary rock F.T.W.?
It can change when it is eroded and weathered.
What in no more than three sentences can you explain the rock cycle?
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.
What two things change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
What two thing's change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock
Is red and pale sandstone a sedimentary rock?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock regardless of its color.
What causes the different colors in sedimentary rock?
Minerals cause the layers - each mineral has a certain color (and hardness).
Can high pressure can change an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?
No, high pressure alone cannot change an igneous rock into sedimentary rock; however, the reverse is true. High pressure can change sedimentary rock into igneous rock.
What causes sedimentary rocks to become metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rock can become metamorphic rock under intense heat and pressure. The heat and pressure do not change the rock's chemical composition, but do change its physical properties like hardness, texture, and structure.
How can a sedimentary rock change into a different sedimentary rock?
by how they can used erosion and weathering
What are some changes that occur when a sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock?
To change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock, you change it by time,heat, and pressure.
What causes to a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock that turn into an igneous rock?
Melting.
