Rock on the surface surrounding the volcano will most likely not change. Rock under the surface near the magmatic intrusion that is the source of the volcano could be altered into contact metamorphic rock, altered by heat or heated fluids.

How do magma turn into extrusive igneous rock?

Lava can turn into igneous rock in 2 ways. When the lava cools to a hardening point inside the volcano it is called intrusive igneous rock. When lava cools outside of the volcano it is called extrusive igneous rock.


How will a sedimentary rock turn into an igneous rock?

Igneous rocks are formed when rock melts in a volcano or other hot spot.


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.


Can sedimentary rock be formed to any other rock?

How does an Igneous rock turn into Magma?
