. Metamorphic rocks are formed when igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks undergo a physical change due to extreme heat and pressure. These changes often produce folded layers and veins in the rocks, and they can also cause pockets of precious minerals to form. See Table atrock....
Notice the platy layers that run from left to right within the rock. It looks as though you could easily break off layers from the front surface of the outcrop. This layering is a result of the process of metamorphism. Metamorphism is the changing of rocks by heat and pressure. During ...
Describe the process of how an igneous rock can transform into a sedimentary rock. What causes foliated metamorphic textures to form? What are the two ways igneous rock is formed? How does sedimentary rock form into metamorphic rock? How do metamorphic rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
