What has to happen for an igneous rock to change into a metamorphic rock?

The igneous rock can either: - Be formed as an intrusive igneous rock underground, and then get subducted (driven down) to a depth where the crystals are modified due to the heat or - form as an extrusive igneous rock above ground, get weathered and transported into the sea and included in the compaction of sediments, and then subducted and altered.


Why do rock fossil form in sedimentary rock and not in igneous rock?

Because sedimentery rock is formed under the sea, sediment collects at the bottom of the ocean, and so does a few dead sea creatures, then t gets squashed by other sediment, igneous rock is formed by lava cooling, so there is no fossils in it.

What kind of rock is formed after a volcano erupts?

An igneous rock becomes a sedimentary rock when what occurs?

When an Igneous rock is broken down by physical processes it can become sediment, carried along rivers and waterways to reach the sea and the oceans. When upon the seabed, it is slowly covered by other sediment, and the combined force of the water above and sediment above working with sea mud and other sea deposits forms sedimentary rock.
