What process changes molten rock into igneous rock?
it has to go through melting and solidification in order to become an igneous rock.
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
Why is that igneous rock must always become sedimentary rock?
It doesn't have to. Most rocks exposed at the surface will erode and become sedimentary, but igneous rock that is underground can be remelted and become another igneous rock, or can become metamorphic.
Can sedimentary rock be changed into igneous rock?
If it is forced back into the molten layers of the Earth, then yes, it will become igneous rock.
When lava cools does it become sedimentary rock?
No. It becomes igneous rock.
How can an igneous rock become a metamorphic?
A metamorphic rock can become a igneous rock by melting and cooling
What are the 5 steps for an igneous rock to become a sedimentary rock?
Weathering and ErosionDepositionCompactionLithificationCementationThose are the five steps for an igneous rock to become a sedimentary rock!
For metamorphic rock to become igneous rock what steps are necessary?
Metamorphic rock can not become igneous rock, however igneous rock can become metamorphic. This process happens over time as the rocks are shifted, compressed and heated by the Earth.
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.
What does slate become when it becomes a igneous rock?
An igneous rock is cooled magma. So first it would have to melt. From there it could become any igneous rock depending on the environment.
Which metamorphic rock changes to an igneous rock?
Any metamorphic rock can melt and recrystallize and become an igneous rock.
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
What process changes molten rock into igneous rock?
it has to go through melting and solidification in order to become an igneous rock.
How does rock become igneous rock?
it melts and then cools
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.
Describe how an igneous rock may become transformed into other rock types and back into igneous rock?
Describe how an igneous rock may become transformed into other rock types and back into igneous rock? The Igneous Rock would have to go through many stages known as the Rock Cycle. The Rock Cycle steps would be: Igneous Rock than it would have to go threw erosion to become a Sedimentary Rock than it would have to go through Heat and Pressure to become a Metamorphic Rock. Then The Metamorphic Rock would have to go through melting to become a Molten Rock (Lave/Magma). Then finally it would have to go through cooling to become a Igneous Rock again<3[: ---♥PandaBabby69♥
Is there a sentence with the word rock cycle?
Igneous rock can weather and become sedimentary rock . Metamorphic rock can be melted in a volcano and become igneous rock. Igneous rock and sedimentary rock can be heated and pressurized to form metamorphic rock.
