What process is involved in the formation of all igneous rocks but not in the formation of metamorphic rocks?
mountain building
What part of the rock cycle occur deep in earths crust?
The formation of intrusive igneous and metamorphic rocks.
What causes the formation of different crystals?
rocks
How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous-sedimentary weathering/erosion Igneous-Metamorphic high pressure and heat
What can erosion and weathering create?
Sediments. Weathering and Erosion can break down Sedimentary rocks, Igneous rocks and Metamorphic rocks all into Sediments. Hopefully this helped you.
What is in the formation of igneous rocks but not in formation of metamorphic rocks?
igneous rocks form within earths surface
What process is involved in the formation of all igneous rocks but not in the formation of metamorphic rocks?
mountain building
How does metamorphic rock formation compare to igneous rock formation?
Igneous rocks are formed in and around volcanos, metamorphic rocks are formed by the partial melting of rocks deep underground.
How the igneous rocks change?
Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.
It is composed of harder rocks that resist erosion?
Igneous rock.
What process helps change metamorphic and igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Weathing and erosion.
Which came first sedimentary igneous metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rock would probably have been the first rock type formed after the initial formation of the first igneous rock. Sedimentary rock formation relies on weathering and erosion, whereas metamorphic rock can be created by heat and pressure. It's likely that rock was metamorphosed before weathering existed .
What rocks are found after a volcano erupts?
Rocks of igneous formation and magmatic origin.
What part of the rock cycle occur deep in earths crust?
The formation of intrusive igneous and metamorphic rocks.
How can igneous rocks be different densities?
Igneous rocks vary greatly in composition and method of formation, resulting in diverse densities.
What causes the formation of different crystals?
rocks
How can an igneous rock become a sedimentary rocks?
Yes, after erosion and deposition.
