Are metamorphic rock only made out of from igneous?

No, metamorphic can be formed by either igneous or sedimetary rock.


True or false sedimentary rock can be formed from changes in igneous rock but idneous rock cannot be formed changes in the sedimentary rock?

False Sedimetary rocks can be formed from changes in igneous rock, and igneous rock can be from changes in sedimentary rock.


When a sedimetary rock melts what kind of rock does it form?

When a sedimentary rock or any other rock kind melts, it becomes magma and when it sollidifies it forms an igneous rock.


How can you tell the differences between - igneous rock -metamorphic rock -sedimetary rock?

because igneous means fire rock,sedimentary means water rock and metamophic comes from the original parent rock and transformed into new one due to high temperature and pressure


How can an igneous rock become a metamorphic?

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


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 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♥
