Igneous rock can be changed into which type of rock through the application of heat and pressure?


metamorphic rock


clastic sedimentary rock


non-foliated igneous rock


foliated igneous rock

Respuesta :

Answer:

metamorphic rock

Explanation:

Igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks when heat and pressure are applied to the rock.

Pressure and heat in the presence of a fluid phase cause metamorphic transformation of a prolith.

  • At the right temperature and pressure, an igneous rock will not form magma but will undergo mineralogical changes to form metamorphic rocks.
  • These changed rocks have different mineral facies that are different from those of the prolith.

Through heat and pressure, igneous rocks can be transformed into metamorphic rocks.
