A metamorphic Rock can be formed by simply being under the earth’s surface‚ being exposed to extremely high temperatures and a huge amount of pressure from the layers of rock above. These rocks can be formed by tectonic processes‚ some which include‚ continental collisions (this is a process that causes friction‚ distortion and horizontal pressure). These rocks can also be formed when rock becomes heated rapidly by the intrusion of a hot molten rock‚ (called magma) and it comes from the earth’s interior

Metamorphic rocks are originated within the earths crust. Metamorphic rocks are created when both pressure and heat meet at the right time. During metamorphosis the rocks do not melt the heat and pressure just change the make-up of the rock. There are two types of metamorphosis low grade and high grade. Low grade metamorphosis occurs at 400 degrees C and 400MPa‚ while high grade is anything above 400 degrees c and 400MPa. Once the temperature reaches a little over 600 degrees Celsius and over 600MPa

The rock cycle is very important to us because it explains the way the different types of rocks are formed on earth. The rocks currently visible on the Earth’s surface have moved through transition stages that transformed them from one form into another. The importance of the rock cycle lies in how it forms and recycles the various layers that make up the Earth. To do this‚ the cycle moves through three different stages that produce three different types of rock. Igneous rock makes up the foundation

Metamorphic Rocks Axia College of the University of Phoenix Metamorphic rock is the transformation of an existing rock type in a process called metamorphism‚ which means change in form. Metamorphic rocks make up a large part of the Earth ’s crust and are classified by texture and by chemical and mineral assemblage (Murck‚ Skinner‚ & Mackenzie‚ 2008). Metamorphic rocks started out as some other type of rock‚ but have been substantially changed from their original igneous‚ sedimentary‚

The rock cycle involves of a chain of continual progressions through which earth materials change from one form to another over time. Some processes in the rock cycle happen over millions of years and others occur much more quickly. There is no real starting or completion to the rock cycle; however‚ it may be appropriate to begin investigating the rock cycle with magma (Bergman 2005). Magma‚ or molten rock‚ forms only at certain locations within the earth‚ mostly along plate boundaries. Magma crystallizes

Incredible Igneous Rocks Granite is one of the most well-known and commonly found types of igneous rock. Granite batholiths are a common rock type found in Richmond‚ VA. These larger igneous‚ intrusive rocks are found near my grandparents’ home in Richmond‚ and as a child I would constantly climb and play on them. Looking at granite in class always reminds me of these batholiths by my grandparents’ home. Granite consists mostly of the minerals quartz‚ mica and feldspar‚ which give granite its typical
