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
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.
Which type of rock does sedimentary rock change into when buried?
Metamorphic rock, if buried deep enough.
How do heat and pressure change sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
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 two things change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
What two thing's change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock
What causes the different colors in sedimentary rock?
Minerals cause the layers - each mineral has a certain color (and hardness).
Is red and pale sandstone a sedimentary rock?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock regardless of its color.
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.
How can a sedimentary rock change into a different sedimentary rock?
by how they can used erosion and weathering
What kind of rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure. This process causes the original sedimentary rock to recrystallize and change its mineral composition without melting. Metamorphic rocks include types such as marble and quartzite.
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 sedimentary rock to change into metamorphic rock?
Sedimentary rocks are changed into metamorphic by being buried deep enough that the heat and pressure alter their text, mineralogy, or other characteristics. Sedimentary rock can also become altered by proximity to a heat source, such as an igneous intrusion.
What causes to a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock that turn into an igneous rock?
Melting.
