What else can I help you with?
When magma cools and hardens does it form igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
igneous rock.
Which of the following is NOT one of the three types of rock igneous sedimentary metamorphic magma?
When magma is cooled and hardened, it is an igneous rock. That being said, there's only three left and those three are the three types of rocks. Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.
Name the 3 kinds of rocks?
The three main types of rocks are igneous, formed from cooling lava or magma; sedimentary, formed from compressed layers of sediment; and metamorphic, formed from existing rocks that undergo high heat and pressure.
Is granite metamorphic sedimentary or igneous?
igneous. Made from slowly cooling magma. :)
Is Wave rock Sedimentary Igneous or Metamorphic?
Igneous it is Magma that was cooled underground-intrusive
What are the three types of rock and their formation?
there are 4 bill bob and jerry and the one in abi's head she likes to call a brain Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.
Name the three major groups of rocks and describe how each forms?
The three groups are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. igneous forms when magma or lava cools down. sedimentary forms when sediments (clay, sand, silt etc) gets compressed. and metamorphic forms when an igneous or sedimentary goes under very high temperatures and pressure
How can a metomorphic rock become an igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks underground melt to become magma. When a volcano erupts, magma flows out of it. As the lava cools it hardens and becomes igneous rock.
How igneous rock changes to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock to change to Igneous rock by applying heat and pressure , which creates Metamorphic rock . Next , Metamorphic rock turns to Magma because it melts . Lastly you have to let the Magma cool and it becomes an Igneous rock . That is how Sedimentary rock changes to Igneous rock .
In order to form magma what must happen to sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rocks?
In order to form magma, sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rocks must be exposed to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes the rocks to partially melt, forming molten rock called magma.
What event creates change of the sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock can be eroded into sediments, heated and compressed into metamorphic rock, or melted into magma and cooled into igneous rock.
Can Sedimentary rock cannot change into igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock can change into igneous rock, but not directly. The process involves first transforming sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock through heat and pressure. Then, if the metamorphic rock melts, it can become magma, which, upon cooling, crystallizes into igneous rock. Thus, while sedimentary rock does not directly become igneous rock, it can ultimately contribute to the formation of igneous rock through these intermediate steps.
