Metamorphic rock can become igneous rock through high temperature melting of its mineral constituents, followed by cooling and solidification.
What else can I help you with?
How are metamorphic rocks igneous rock and sedimentary rocks different?
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
How are metmorphic rocks formed?
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.
Can igneous rock be formed into a metamorphic rock?
An igneous rock can be metamorphosed (changed) into a metamorphic rock but will no longer be an igneous rock. An igneous body can be intruded into metamorphic rocks but will still be an igneous rock that is different from the surrounding metamorphic rocks. Ethier answer work depending on how the question is read.
How metmorphic rock form?
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.
How do igneous rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
What rock is igneous or sedimentary rock that has been changed by extreme pressure or heat?
The rock that has been changed by extreme pressure or heat is called metamorphic rock. It can form from igneous, sedimentary, or existing metamorphic rocks that undergo changes in temperature and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and gneiss.
What rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
Igneous rock can be transformed into metamorphic rock through what?
Usually it is sedimentary rock that is changed into metamorphic - however it is entirely possible for igneous rock to become metamorphic as well. Metamorphic means different form, and in the geological since it mean rock that has been changed by heat and pressure. Now there isn't too much that can be done to igneous rock to change it chemically, by heat and pressure. But it can undergo physical distortions.
What is rock that is changed by heat pressure or chemical change?
Metamorphic rocks have been changed by heat or pressure. This can be a change in size, shape, or arrangement of minerals.
Is metamorphic rocks made up of sedimentary rock igneous rock or other metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks
How do metamorphic rocks change into igneous rock?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
What are two ways sedimentary and igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks?
Increase the pressure and temperature by burying them; or heat them with an igneous intrusion.
