A metamorphic rock is a rock that has changed form through heat and pressure so a igneous rock (made from molten material from the earth that has solidified) would change to metamorphic rock through heat and pressure.

Sedimentary and Metamorphic rocks becomes igneous rocks when they get melted with the magma then later cool and crystallize.

An igneous rock is a rock that is extremely heated and was formed with extreme pressure. An igneous rock is the kind of rock that comes out of a volcano; a metamorphic rock would need to be underground with extreme heat and pressure from the magma and molten rock.

If it finds its way dowm into the earths crust through rock cycle and then is melted and mixes together to form molten magma, it could re-erupt to the earths surface and form an extrusive igneous rock or cool and solidify within the earths crust as an intrusive igneous rock.

When metamorphic rock melts from pressure and heat, then the product of that melt solidifies, it is considered an igneous rock.

Igneous rocks can become metamorphic rocks by being subjected to extreme temperature and pressure. An example of an igneous rock is granite.

it turns into igneous because plates underground start to go into the magma and when the volcano erupts the lava cools and turns into igneous. ((((It melts,cools,and hardens)))))

Metamorphic rocks become igneous rocks by melting from heat and pressure, remnants of which may cool from melt (magma) and become components of igneous rock.

How do igneous rocks change into metamorphic rocks?

The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock


Can igneous rock be formed into a metamorphic rock?

An igneous rock can be metamorphosed (changed) into a metamorphic rock but will no longer be an igneous rock. An igneous body can be intruded into metamorphic rocks but will still be an igneous rock that is different from the surrounding metamorphic rocks. Ethier answer work depending on how the question is read.


How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?

Igneous-sedimentary weathering/erosion Igneous-Metamorphic high pressure and heat


Can any type of rock change?

Yes, because sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic and metamorphic can change into igneous rocks.


When igneous and sedimentary rocks change then what happened next?

they change into metamorphic rocks

How do rocks change from metamorphic or sedimentary rocks to igneous rocks?

By melting and then solidifying.


How do Metamorphic and Igneous Rocks differ?

Metamorphic rock differs from Igneous rock by, Metamorphic rock forms when sedimentary and igneous rocks change under heat and pressure. Igneous rocks form as lava cools and hardens.


What do rocks do under heat and pressure?

rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.


How the igneous rocks change?

Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.


What can make Sedimentary Rocks and Igneous Rocks change into Metamorphic Rocks?

heat and pressure.


How does an igneous rock change to metamorphic?

Meta-igneous. Metamorphism of igneous rocks can form a wide range of metamorphic rocks, depending on the mineralogy of the igneous protolith and the P-T conditions of the metamorphism.
