How can sedimentary rock be transformed into igneous rock?
Heat and pressure
What type of rock forms when molten rock cools?
Rock that forms from molten rock that cools and solidifies is called igneous rock.
Type of rock formed from molten rock?
Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and becomes solid.
What kind of rock is formed after a volcano erupts?
Extrusive igneous rock such as basalt, rhyolite, pumice, and obsidian.
What is igneous rock formed from magma below Earth's surface is called?
It is called an intrusive igneous rock.
How can sedimentary rock be transformed into igneous rock?
Heat and pressure
How can intrusive igneous rock be transformed into Mount Rushmore?
Mainly by carving it.
How metamorphic rock be transformed into igneous rock?
contact
What sort of rocks can igneous rocks make?
Igneous rocks can be transformed not made but i think you are asking what types of rocks are igneous rocks well any rock that had once been lava/molten is an igneous rock and lava/molten comes from volcano.You might want to search on Google-types of igneous rocks or how can igneous rocks be transformed. From Ayushi:)
Can an igneous rock be transformed diretly into a metamorphic rock?
Yes they can with intense head and pressure. Please check the rock cycle.
What rock is igneous or sedimentary rock that has been changed by extreme pressure or heat?
Igneous or sedimentary rocks that have been transformed by heat or pressure are known as metamorphic rocks.
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♥
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
Can a sedimentary rock be directly transformed into a igneous rock?
Yes, by heat and pressure. It could turn into two types of igneous rocks: intrusive and extrusive. An intrusive igneous rock is formed by heat from a volcano. It is cooled slowly, and has big crystals. An extrusive igneous rock is formed outside a volcano. It cools slowly and has small/ not visible crystals. So basically, if the sedimentary rock gets into a volcano, it can turn into an igneous rock. Hope that answered your question.
Is breccia a sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rock?
Yes. In the rock cycle, any sedimentary rock can be transformed into a metamorphic rock due to deep burial where the rock is changed by the earth's high temperature and pressure, an exposure to a plutonic intrusion, where rocks such as granite are formed, or any other process where heat and pressure alter the composition, appearance, and classification of a rock. An igneous rock can turn into a metamorphic rock or a sedimentary rock. A metamorphic rock can turn into an igneous rock or a sedimentary rock, and a sedimentary rock can turn into an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock.
What type of rock forms when molten rock cools?
Rock that forms from molten rock that cools and solidifies is called igneous rock.
What describes rock that was formed when molten rock cooled down?
Igneous rock is formed.
