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.

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 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 to a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock that turn into an igneous rock?

Melting.


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.
