Igneous rock can turn into metamorphic rock through exposure to heat and pressure. Pressures necessary to transform igneous rock to metamorphic rock are usually only found in areas of mountain building or incredibly deep burial, the metamorphism occurring in the alignment of the minerals which constitute the parent rock. Recrystallization can occur as well, even though the rock has not melted.

The rock cycle, in its manner, has a specific pattern that happens to a rock in order for it to become another rock. For a rock to turn into a metamorphic rock (it doesn't matter whether it's a igneous or sedimentary rock, the same thing happens), first, the rock must eventually be buried deep within the earth and stay there for a very long time. During that time, since there is a lot of heat and pressure inside the earth, the rock will change it's shape, density, what it's made up of, maybe size, to adjust to this heat and pressure. More time will pass, and weathering & erosion will bring the rock back up to the surface of the earth. When it is back up, it will have been turned into a metamorphic rock.
Igneous rocks often are changed into metamorphic rocks through heat and pressures that are applied to them from mountain building processes. Mountain building processes usually involve the collisions of two tectonic plates, where high pressures develop that can result in mineral realignment, recrystallization, or new mineral formation, changing the parent igneous rock into a metamorphic rock.
Yes it can change into a metamorphic rock through extreme temperature and pressure
Igneous rock can turn in to metamorphic rock by weathering and erosion. The Igneous rock is changed by heat and pressure and is turned in to the new rock, the new rock is the Metamorphic rock
igneous rocks become metamorphic rocks by great heat and pressure over time.
ye
metmorphic rocks are ha you thught i was giong to tell you
Metamorphic rocks are rocks which have changed from one form to another due to intense heat or pressure. Any rock (sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous) can be changed into a metamorphic rock.
The melting and cooling of a metamorphic rock will allow it to turn into an Igneous rock.
Rhyolititcen rocks.
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.

No. Both are igneous rocks.
Yes, they can turn into metamorphic rocks.
All rocks can become igneous rocks. With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock. There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.
igneous rocks
metamorphism is when a Igneous and sedimentary rocks turn into metamorphic rock.
Granites can turn into metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous rock through metamorphosis.
The melting and cooling of a metamorphic rock will allow it to turn into an Igneous rock.
