Yes. When a volcano erupts, the top of it blows off. The lava spits out the top and it travels down the side. When the lava hits the ground, over the years it turns to ash and mabe 10 years later, it turns into a black, powdery dirt.

How does metamorphic rocks turn into a igneous rocks?

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.

What is The process by which energy from the sun heats the water on earths surface turning it into a gas is called?

The process you are referring to is called evaporation. Evaporation occurs when the sun's energy heats up water on the Earth's surface, causing it to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere.


How does sedimentary rock turn to lava?

Sedimentary rock does not directly turn into lava. Instead, when sedimentary rock is subjected to extreme heat and pressure, it can undergo metamorphism, potentially transforming into metamorphic rock. If this metamorphic rock is further subjected to even higher temperatures, it can melt and become magma. When magma erupts to the surface, it is called lava.


When a rock melts turns into magma and then solidifies what type of rock does it turn into?

When a rock melts and turns into magma, and then solidifies, it typically transforms into igneous rock. If the magma cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rock, such as granite. If it erupts onto the surface and cools quickly, it becomes extrusive igneous rock, like basalt.
