What rock or rocks could come just after quartzite in the rock cycle?

Quartzite could either become molten and then solidify into an igneous rock, or weather into particles of sediment that become a sedimentary rock.

Which is older igneous or sedimentary?
Neither. You can get sedimentary rocks that are older than igneous rocks, or igneous that are older the sedimentary rocks. However, igneous rocks are formed from magma within the earth's crust, or as it extrudes onto the surface, while sedimentary rocks are formed from the erosion and redeposition of existing rocks, so generally in the life cycle of a rock the igneous form would come first.
If the center of the earth is the hottest why is it solid?
because that is where rocks come from,and rocks are solid
Where do sedimentary rocks come from above ground or underground?
Sedimentary rocks come from above ground , because sedimentary rocks form when sediment piles up and sediment is made up of loose particles of clay, silt and sand
What color are rocks?
rocks has got a lot of colors but the color depends on the basis of the mineral/chemical composition which they contain.forenstance igneous rocks can be of melanocratic mesocratic leuocratic
Where do volcanic rocks form?
Volcano rocks come from the volcano itself because parts of the volcano might chip off inside so that will be small pieces of the volcano which are known by rocks or volcano rocks.
Where did the quartzite come from?
Sweden, Norway and Italy (mainly)
How does clay goes in with the rock cycle?
by having all the rocks come to gether with water
Scientists divide rocks into groups based on what?
Rocks are grouped by how they are formed. There are 3 types of rocks. Sedimentary, Metamorphic, and Igneous rock. Sedimentary rocks are made from broken down rocks, called sediment, which come from all three rocks. Metamorphic rocks come from existing rocks that are changed by heat and pressure. The Igneous rocks are formed from magma that rose up to the surface, also known as lava. When the lava cools and hardens it forms igneous rocks. That is a rock cycle.

Why must igneous come before sedimentary in the rock cycle?
For most purposes there is no "beginning" to the rock cycle. Any rock can be weathered away and remade into sedimentary rock. Igneous rocks are sometimes depicted as the start of the rock cycle because the first rocks on Earth were igneous.
How do you change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rocks could become metamorphic rocks if they are exposed to extreme heat and pressure deep in the Earth's crust. The rocks could come to the surface by volcanic activity or rising magma.
What forces are in the rock cycle?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when other rocks (igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary) are weathered and eroded and their sediments are compacted and cemented together. Metamorphic rocks can be formed when heat and pressure is applied to any type of existing rock. Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools. The magma can be made up of melted rocks of any kind (sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic). The cycle repeats itself all the time and all of the rocks can come from any other kind of rock.
What is the shape of an metamorphic rocks?
The shape of metamorphic rocks can vary widely depending on the specific rock and the conditions under which it formed. Some metamorphic rocks, such as slate or schist, may have layered or foliated textures. Others, like marble or quartzite, are typically more massive and may have a granular or compact appearance.
What piece of evidence convinced scientists that some meteorites could have come from the moon?
rocks
How can volcanoes be dangerous?
The lava can come and kill you or the big rocks falling from the air could smash u
When rocks come into molten rocks?
igneous
How long could the rock cycle take for rocks to change?
Although some say it takes millions, maybe billions of years, it doesn't actually take that long. From my research, I have come to the conclusion that it only takes thousands of years not millions or billions
What if my menstrual cycle doesn't come this month?
It could mean you're pregnent, test to make sure
