metamorphic rocks are heated and pressured so soon they are being melted turning into magma. But volcanic activity can also release lava which would cool and harden either in crack inside the volcano or on earths surface.
What else can I help you with?
Can igneous rock turn into something else?
Yes, they can turn into metamorphic rocks.
How does a extrusive igneous rock turn into a metamorphic rock?
Extrusive igneous rocks can turn into metamorphic rocks through the process of regional metamorphism, where they are subjected to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This causes the mineral composition and texture of the rock to change, resulting in the formation of a new metamorphic rock.
What is the main type of energy to help convert rocks into metamorphic rocks?
The melting and cooling of a metamorphic rock will allow it to turn into an Igneous rock.
What causes sedimentary or igneous rocks to turn into metamorphic rock?
Heat and Pressure.
What is the main type of energy used to help convert metamorphic rocks into igneous rocks?
The main type of energy used to help convert metamorphic rocks into igneous rocks is heat. This heat can come from processes such as magma intrusion, volcanic activity, or tectonic movements, causing the metamorphic rocks to melt and recrystallize into igneous rocks.
What type of rocks cannot turn into sedimentary rocks?
No rock. Any rock can turn into sedimentary rock, such as granite (igneous rock) and slate (metamorphic rock). Even sedimentary rock can turn into other sedimentary rock.
Which came first sedimentary igneous metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rock would probably have been the first rock type formed after the initial formation of the first igneous rock. Sedimentary rock formation relies on weathering and erosion, whereas metamorphic rock can be created by heat and pressure. It's likely that rock was metamorphosed before weathering existed .
Can metamorphic rocks be sedimentary or igneous rocks?
there are several ways such as heat & pressure, melting, chemical weathering, compression, compaction & cementation, but it depends on the kind of rock it is for what process it has to go through. -Cutegirl99
What types of rocks can become igneous 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.
Does brick turn into a metamorphic rock when its melted?
No. Metamorphic rock froms from processes that take place in the solid state. Rocks that form from molten material are igneous.
Which type of rocks can turn into an igneous rock through the rock cycle?
A metamorphic rock can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Or, a sedimentary rock (or sediments) can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Also, an igneous rock itself can undergo this process of melting and cooling as well.
How does a metamorphic rock turn into a igeneous rock?
When metamorphic rock is deposited deep down in the earth, due to pressure and heat, it could be turned easily to lava. When this lava gets heated up the more, due to convection of heat it is force to come out. It cools off on the earth surface as igneous rock.
