An igneous rock is made from magma- liquify the material of the rocks and cool it down

Question 2

What affects rock formation?

Answer 2

Temperature and pressure

Question 3

What does low pressure and termperature form?

Answer 3

Low pressures and low temperatures form rocks such as Zeolite

Question 4

What does increased temperature and pressure form?

Answer 4

Increased temperature and pressure forms Eclogite which is important in plate tectonics.

Question 5

What forms at high temperature and low pressure?

Answer 5

Granulite formed with lower pressure and higher temperature

Question 6

What forms at very high temperatures and medium pressures?

Answer 6

Migmatite is a common rock that is formed at very high temperatures at medium pressures

Question 7

What forms at slightly lower temperatures and pressures to migmatite?

Answer 7

Amphibolite’sare formed at similar depths to migmatite but slightly lower pressure and lower temperature

Question 8

What are all rocks mentioned?

Answer 8

Metamorphic rocks
