By erosion and sedimentation
It has to go to the surface, then it is weathered into sediments, then it is eroded to somewhere else and depostied there. Then is is compacted (pushed together by pressure) and cemented (glued) together.
What else can I help you with?
When a sedimentary rock melts what type of rock forms?
Sedimentary rock can be changed into igneous rock by undergoing melting and then solidification.
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.
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.
How was metamorphic made?
an igneous or sedimentary rock that is changed by heat or pressure
What types of rock can be changed to a metamorphic?
All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.
How can a piece of granite can be changed from an igneous rock to a sedimatery rock and then to a metaphoric?
A piece of granite can be changed from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock, and then to a metamorphic rock as it gets buried deeper within the Earth's crust.
How are metamorphic rocks igneous rock and sedimentary rocks different?
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
What kind of rock can changed into metamorphic rock?
Any rock, be it igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic, can be changed into a metamorphic rock through increased pressure and/or temperature.
How can an Igneous rock change?
An igneous rock, just like any other rock, can be changed through metamorphic, igneous, and/or sedimentary processes. When exposed to high temp. and pressure, igneous becomes metamorphic. When re-melted, it becomes igneous again. When weathered/eroded, it becomes sedimentary.
How can igneous rock change?
An igneous rock, just like any other rock, can be changed through metamorphic, igneous, and/or sedimentary processes. When exposed to high temp. and pressure, igneous becomes metamorphic. When re-melted, it becomes igneous again. When weathered/eroded, it becomes sedimentary.
What is the process sedimentary to igneous?
In order to get an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must be melted and then that melt must crystallize.
Is a sedimentary rock an igneous rock?
No. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are three different categories of rock.
