Metamorphic Rocks

Metamorphic Rocks. The Rock Cycle. If you bury a rock deep enough, it will melt (IGNEOUS) Not so deep, a rock will become lithified (SEDIMENTARY) At conditions (Pressures and Temperatures) just right, metamorphism occurs. http://voyagerstories.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/rock-cycle.jpg.

METAMORPHIC ROCKS

METAMORPHIC ROCKS. Formation and Characteristics. Rocks are formed on Earth as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form when rocks are heated to the melting point which forms magma.

Metamorphic Rocks. Chapter 4 Section 3 Notes. Metamorphic Rocks. Changed by temperature, pressure and hot fluids. Heat and pressure result from one layer of rock on top of another layer. Sometimes temperature and pressure are great enough to melt rock, forming magma.

Metamorphic Rocks:

Metamorphic Rocks:. Meta = change Morph = form Metamorphic rocks form from changes to pre-existing rock caused by heat and pressure Metamorphism can occur locally over a small area, or over a large area covering many kilometers. Two Types of Metamorphism.
