What process is needed for an igneous rock to turn into sedimentary rock?
Heat, erosion and pressure.
How does a metamorphic rock become igneous?
by going under heat and pressure
What causes sedimentary or igneous rocks to turn into metamorphic rock?
Heat and Pressure.
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.
Why does the igneous rock turn into a sedimentary rock?
becuase the igneous rock cools dowwn and turn into sedimentary rock
How does a extrusive igneous rock turn into a metamorphic rock?
Weathering and erosion turn igneous rock to metamorphic rock.
What can an igneous rock be changed into?
An igneous rock can change into a metamorphic rock with heat or pressure.
What does an igneous rock turn into?
There is no specific anser for that but it can melt and turn into magma again or have heat and pressure to turn into metamorphic rock or it can have been weathered and erosioned on to turn into Sediments see no specific answer
What types of rocks can become igneous rocks?
All rocks can become igneous rocks. With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock. There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.
What can high heat and pressure do to an igneous rock?
If you have enough heat and pressure it can turn back to molten lava (This is a wild guess by the way)
What is the process and paths that could move the material through the rock cycle until it again forms newly cooled igneous rock?
instead of what was here that was irrelevant here is a actual answer a igneous rock can wither away and turn into a sedimentary rock then go under heat and pressure to turn into a metamorphic rock then melt into magma and cool turning it back to a igneous rock
How does a igneous rock turn into a igneous rock?
An igneous rock is formed when magma rises through the earth's crust and cools.
