Answer:
heat, pressure increases with depth. This pressure can actually squeeze the spaces out of the minerals within the rock. This makes the rocks denser. The heat and pressure together cause the rock to flow instead of break or fracture.
I hope you got the answer..

Heat and pressure in Rocks as there is an increase in depth.
Explanation:
- Pressure, like heat, rises with depth. this pressure can actually push the mineral gaps out of the Rock. The combination denser as a result of this.
- When heat and pressure combine to change an existing rock into a new one, metamorphic rocks develop. When heated magma comes into touch with rock, it undergoes contact metamorphism.
- With depth, heat and pressure increase. This pressure can actually push the mineral gaps out of the rock. The rocks become denser as a result of this. The combination of heat and pressure causes the rock to flow rather than break or fracture.
- Under the great heat and pressure caused by tectonic forces, regional metamorphism alters significant portions of existing rocks.
