Metamorphic is the most dense of the rock types because it is made from rock that is compressed beneath the surface of the earth at very high pressure and heat for millions of years. The process by which rocks and minerals undergo solid state changes in response to changes in temperature, pressure, and chemical conditions. A Metamorphic rock is a mix of sedimentary and extrusive igneous rocks which has been crushed into sediments, put under extreme heat and then reformed.
What else can I help you with?
Can metamorphic rock form out of other metamorphic rock?
No.
How can a rock be transformed into a metamorphic rock?
Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.
How would metamorphic rock change into a new metamorphic rock?
the
How can any rock be transformed into metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure transform rock to metamorphic rock.
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.
Where do Most metamorphic rock forms?
heat and pressure beneath Earth's surface can change a rock into metamorphic rock.
What ranges are formed from metamorphic rocks?
The most often occurring metamorphic rock types are Dwayne the rock Johnson, Rockey, and pet rock.
What type of rock will the metamorphic rock most likely transform into next?
A sedimentary rock.
Where is the world most metamorphic rock found?
ALASka
Is metamorphic rock generally soft rock or hard rock?
Metamorphic rock is generally hard, as it forms through the intense heat and pressure of metamorphism, which causes the minerals in the rock to recrystallize and align in a more compact and dense structure. This results in a rock that is usually more resistant to weathering and erosion compared to softer sedimentary rocks.
What can you find in a metamorphic rock?
in a metamorphic rock you find rock.
What type of rock is slate?
A metamorphic rock.
What type of rock is most likely to form a transform boundary?
Metamorphic rock
What are the most important rock types in geology?
Some of the most important rock types in geology are Igneous Rock & Metamorphic Rock.
How metamorphic rocks develop?
Heat and pressure from overlying rock layers (or heat from adjacent magma) causes the atoms of the original rock to ionize and recrystallize. Metamorphic rocks are more dense and structurally stable than the 'protolith' from which they are formed.
Can metamorphic rock form out of other metamorphic rock?
No.
Is chert a metamorphic rock?
Chert is NOT a metamorphic rock.
