What three things can happen to a sedimentary rock in the rock cycle?
erosion and weathering heat and pressure melting and solidification
How many degrees you need to melt a rock?
It depends on the rock. Different minerals have different melting points.
What does melting do to a igneous rock?
Melting causes an igneous rock to form into lava/magma.
What causes melting of material under divergent plate boundaries Is it melting of rock recompression of rock freezing of rock or decompression of rock?
decompression of rock
Rock begins to melt when?
When the temperature reaches the lowest melting point of the mineral or minerals of which the rock is made.That depends entirely on what type of rock you have, and what it's made up of. Different substances have different melting points. Igneous rock has the highest, which means they don't melt easily. You'd have to know what types of materials are in the rock and look up their respective melting points in a chemistry book, or online. There is no one single answer to your question.
How can igneous rock be change into sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock?
there are several ways such as heat & pressure, melting, chemical weathering, compression, compaction & cementation, but it depends on the kind of rock it is for what process it has to go through. -Cutegirl99
How does water affect the melting temperature of rock at a convergent boundry?
Water reduces the melting point of rock.
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms what substance?
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma.
Does metamorphism usually involve melting?
Rock metamorphism does not involve melting and cooling from melt. A rock that has melted can only become an igneous rock.
What rock needs melting then cooling?
An igneous rock
How can Igneous and metamorphic rock be changed into sedimentary rock?
there are several ways such as heat & pressure, melting, chemical weathering, compression, compaction & cementation, but it depends on the kind of rock it is for what process it has to go through. -Cutegirl99
What stage in the rock cycle is between metamorphic rock and igneous rock?
Melting.
