How thick is a single pane glass window typically? I recently broke the window in my dorm. I was resting my foot on the window, and it just broke underneath. I measured the thickness of the broken window, and found it only to be an eighth inch. I feel almost like I should be the one complaining... Source(s): average window thickness: https://bestanswer.im/e14/average-window-thickness.
By Andrew Alden. Metamorphic rocks are the third great class of rocks. These are what happens when sedimentary and igneous rocks become changed, or metamorphosed (changed in form), by conditions underground. The four main agents that metamorphose rocks are heat, pressure, fluids and strain.
Dynamic Metamorphism also occurs because of mountain-building. These huge forces of heat and pressure cause the rocks to be bent, folded, crushed, flattened, and sheared. Metamorphic rocks are almost always harder than sedimentary rocks. They are generally as hard and sometimes harder than igneous rocks. They form the roots of many mountain chains and are exposed to the surface after the softer outer layers of rocks are eroded away.
