How sediments can become igneous rock?

The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an igneous rock.


How can an igneous rock become a metamorphic?

A metamorphic rock can become a igneous rock by melting and cooling


What causes rock to become sediment?

Igneous rock becomes sediment due to exposure to chemical and mechanical weathering at or near the surface.


What does melting do to a igneous rock?

Melting causes an igneous rock to form into lava/magma.


For metamorphic rock to become igneous rock what steps are necessary?

Metamorphic rock can not become igneous rock, however igneous rock can become metamorphic. This process happens over time as the rocks are shifted, compressed and heated by the Earth.


How can a metomorphic rock become an igneous rock?

Metamorphic rocks underground melt to become magma. When a volcano erupts, magma flows out of it. As the lava cools it hardens and becomes igneous rock.


What causes igneous rocks to become sedimentary rocks?

If other layers of rock, dirt, dust, and sand are put on top of the igneous rock and the layers are compressed by their own weight, they become a single, unified layer of sedimentary rock. Simple Version: 1. Igneous rock 2. More rocks are put on the igneous rock. 3. The rock on top push down and squeeze the all of the layers into one layer.


Which metamorphic rock changes to an igneous rock?

Any metamorphic rock can melt and recrystallize and become an igneous rock.


What process changes molten rock into igneous rock?

it has to go through melting and solidification in order to become an igneous rock.


What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?

Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.


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.


Describe how an igneous rock may become transformed into other rock types and back into igneous rock?

Describe how an igneous rock may become transformed into other rock types and back into igneous rock? The Igneous Rock would have to go through many stages known as the Rock Cycle. The Rock Cycle steps would be: Igneous Rock than it would have to go threw erosion to become a Sedimentary Rock than it would have to go through Heat and Pressure to become a Metamorphic Rock. Then The Metamorphic Rock would have to go through melting to become a Molten Rock (Lave/Magma). Then finally it would have to go through cooling to become a Igneous Rock again<3[: ---♥PandaBabby69♥
