How do igneous rock become metamorphic rocks?

Metamorphic rocks become igneous rocks by melting from heat and pressure, remnants of which may cool from melt (magma) and become components of igneous 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.


Do igneous rocks directly become metamorphic rock?

no


What type of rocks are metamorphic rocks formed from?

Metamorphic rocks are formed from existing rocks that undergo changes in temperature, pressure, or chemical reactions due to processes like heat and pressure from deep within the Earth's crust. These existing rocks can be sedimentary, igneous, or even other metamorphic rocks that get transformed into a new type of rock.


What is required to change an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?

Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.


Can an igneous rock become metamorphic?

Yes,so can sedimentary rocks and even other metamorphic rocks.


How do igneous rocks change into metamorphic rocks?

The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock


How does metamophic rocks become igneous rocks?

When metamorphic rock melts from pressure and heat, then the product of that melt solidifies, it is considered an igneous rock.


How can igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rock?

Metamorphic rock can become igneous rock through high temperature melting of its mineral constituents, followed by cooling and solidification.


Which types of rocks are not metamorphic rocks?

Sedimentary and Igneous rocks are not metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks however are igneous or sedimentary rocks that have undertaken metamorphism (In extreme heat and/or pressure the minerals are forced to recrystalize) and become metamorphic rocks. If the heat/pressure causes the rock to melt into liquid rock than it is no longer metamorphi, it is igneous. Hope this helps :)


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.


How can an igneous rock become a metamorphic?

A metamorphic rock can become a igneous rock by melting and cooling
