Factors that affect rock deformation
Question asked by: Chinedum6
Asked on: 28 Feb 2011
Yes these help to determine how rocks are formed, for instance intense heat and pressure can convert rocks of other types or mix other rocks together to some sort of metamorphic rock as opposed to igneous ones from the heat and pressure volcanoes and other similar earth processes. Pressure alone rather than heat can lead to rocks like limestone which is a sedimentary rock, formed from compressed sea sediment.
