When metamorphic rock changes to magma the magma rises and cools to become?
A metamorphic rock is formed by the elements, minor heat, and compression. When the metamorphic rock is melted by magma, this would indicate that the metamorphic rock is under the surface of the earth. If it rises and cools again you will have an extrusive igneous rock. In a lot of cases, this is metamorphic rock on the surface under the influence of lava. This would change the composition and it would not longer be metamorphic, but rather igneous.
What can a igneous rock may change into?
Igneous rocks can change into metamorphic rocks from great heat and pressure as all other rocks can, melt into magma, the molten rock, and erode into sediment, which are rock fragments.
How does metamorphic rock transform to sediment?
metamorphic rocks get compacted and cemented together until it becomes sedimentary rocks. they can also get crystallized underwater into sedimentary rock. hope you find this helpful!!! :)when a rock is put under a lot of heat and pressure it morphs into a sedimentary rock.
How a metamorphic rock could turn into a sedimentary rock and then back into a metamorphic rock?
By exposure to heat and/or pressure through depth of burial, directed pressure, or proximity to a magma source. Existing minerals can recrystallize, non-hydrous minerals can replace hydrous minerals, new minerals can be formed from the introduction of new ions from heated solutions, and minerals can become flattened and aligned in parallel layers.
What are the steps needed to form metamorphic rock from magma?
Metamorphic rock is not formed directly from magma. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma and lava.
Is it possible for rocks to skip sedimentary in the rock cycle?
Yes a rock can change from metamorphic to igneous back to metamorphic the rock cycle does not go in order unless magma cools into igneous and sediment changes into sedimentary rock
What type of rock can change into an igneous rock?
Igneous rocks can change into metamorphic rocks from great heat and pressure as all other rocks can, melt into magma, the molten rock, and erode into sediment, which are rock fragments.
What the rock cycle describe?
The rock cycle describes how rocks are formed, and how they change to sedimentary rock, to metamorphic rock, to magma, to igneous rock, to sediment, and back to sedimentary rock.
How do metamorphic rocks change into igneous rock?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
How do igneous rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
How does the metamorphic rock change into a igneous rock?
metamorphic rock melts into magma and volcano erupts. lava hardens and cools
How can a metamorphic rock change into another rock?
Yes. A metamorphic rock can be metamorphosed into a higher-grade metamorphic rock. It can be weather into sediment and re-lithified into a sedimentary rock, or it can melt then solidify to become an igneous rock.
When metamorphic rock changes to magma the magma rises and cools to become?

Igneous rocks can change into metamorphic rocks from great heat and pressure as all other rocks can, melt into magma, the molten rock, and erode into sediment, which are rock fragments.
Which action will change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
Heat from magma and pressure from above ground.
How does metamorphic rock transform to sediment?
metamorphic rocks get compacted and cemented together until it becomes sedimentary rocks. they can also get crystallized underwater into sedimentary rock. hope you find this helpful!!! :)when a rock is put under a lot of heat and pressure it morphs into a sedimentary rock.
How does metamorphic rock turn to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks get turned in to metamorphic rocks by heat and pressure. They get heated by magma and convection currents, which causes the rock to change.
