What happens when metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock continues to heat and eventually melts and becomes igneous rocks.
What happens to a sedimentary rock after weathering?
I becomes sediments again or becomes igneous or metamorphic rock
What happens to the minerals when the rock becomes metamorphic?
Minerals may get changed to other minerals forming a new rock. Mineral grains also become aligned in response to the increased pressure.

What type of rock is talc?
== Talc is a mineral. == True... but Talc is a Metamorphic rock. == Actually it is a metamorphic mineral, not a rock.
How do the properties of a metamorphic rock change when it becomes a metamorphic rock?
It changes its appearence, texture, crystal structure, and mineral content change. This is the answer according to the Georgia Earth Science book.
What happens to igneous rock in intense heat and pressure?
In intense heat and pressure, igneous rock can undergo metamorphism, transforming into metamorphic rock. This process involves recrystallization of minerals, and the rock may develop foliation or banding patterns. The original texture and mineral composition of the rock can change as a result of this process.
Is marble rock or a mineral?
Marble is a type of metamorphic rock, composed primarily of the mineral calcite or dolomite.
In the rock cycle a rock that is changed by heat and pressure becomes a what?
A rock that is changed by heat and pressure becomes a metamorphic rock. This process usually occurs deep within the Earth's crust where temperature and pressure are high enough to alter the mineral composition and structure of the rock. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and gneiss.
What happens to the energy inside the rock as metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks gain enegry as they are melted by magma and then lose energy as they cool into igneous rocks.
Is a diamond metamorphic rock?
Diamond is a mineral that can only form under certain conditions of heat and pressure. Although it will appear in metamorphic rock, it is not itself a metamorphic rock, but a mineral.
Is gniess a mineral or a sedimentary igneous metamorphic rock?
metamorphic
