It varies with the type of rock being formed. Some igneous rock is formed in a matter of minutes; some sedimentary rock is formed in processes requiring many millions of years.

How long does it take for a Igneous rock to Form?
10,000,000+ years
How long does it take for a rock to change to another form?
millions of years
How long does it take for a Forrest to form in a secondary succession?
From bare rock... I think 80yrs.
How long does it take an intrusive rock to form?
Typically thousands to hundreds of thousands of years.
How long does it take to drive form fort lauderdale to little rock?
17 hours
How long does it take for sedimentary rock to form?
Generally speaking, the creation of clastic sedimentary rock is part of a long process of weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation that can take millions of years.
How long does it take for a stack to form?
a long time. Acid rain and other erosion methods erode the rock to form a cave then an arch then a stack
How long does it take to drive form dallas to Little Rock Arkansas?
around 5 hours
How long does it take for each type of rock to form?
There is no set time for rock formation. The time necessary for rock formation lie somewhere on a scale from hours to millions of years.
Does it take millions of years to form a metamorphic rock?
Most metamorphic rock processes involve very long periods of time. The exception would be metamorphic rocks formed by meteorite impacts.
What is the best estimate of how long it took a thick layer of sedimentary rock to form?
The time it takes for a thick layer of sedimentary rock to form can vary significantly depending on various factors, such as the depositional environment, the rate of sedimentation, and the type of sediment being deposited. In general, it can take anywhere from a few hundred to millions of years for a thick layer of sedimentary rock to form.
What type of rock is the original rock?
No one really know what rock came first but I would assume it would be Igneous because it came from volcanoes and those have been around a long time. Sedimentary rocks take millions of years to form, and metamorphic take long as well. The best answer would definitely have to be igneous.
