It's impossible to say what specific igneous rock the rock marble may become after it is melted and becomes mixed with other molten rock before solidification into an igneous rock. It would most certainly have none of the characteristics of the original marble.

Is marble an extrusive or an intrusive rock?
Neither. The terms intrusive and extrusive apply to igneous rocks; marble is metamorphic.
What is the main type of energy used to help convert metamorphic rocks into igneous rocks?
The melting and cooling of a metamorphic rock will allow it to turn into an Igneous rock.
What are igneous rocks that form over the surface?
Rhyolititcen rocks.
Are igneous rocks made up of igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
Is marble an extrusive or an intrusive rock?
Neither. The terms intrusive and extrusive apply to igneous rocks; marble is metamorphic.
What kinds of rocks can be change into metamorphic rocks?
Many kinds of rocks both of igneous and sedimentary nature eg; Limestone (sedimentary ) to marble or granite or diorite (igneous) to gneiss.
Why can intrusive igneous igneous rocks be left behind when surrounding rocks are worn away?
because it is made by heat and intence crushing and dimonds and marble are both made this way.
What is the major difference between igneous and metamorphic rocks?
igneous rocks started as melted lava and cooled to be rocks. Metamorphic rock started as a sedimentary rock, and was heated up and put under pressure to create the metamorphic rock. Classic example - igneous = obsidian. Metamorphic = marble (marble is limestone that's been heated and squeezed a lot).
Is marble originally sedimentary or igneous rock?
Igneous rock is classified as extrusive or intrusive.
Does diorite turn into granite?
No. Both are igneous rocks.
Is masomry stone a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks (such as sandstone and limestone), igneous rocks (such as granite and basalt), and metamorphic rocks (such as marble) are all used in masonry.
Is a marble rock ultramafic?
No. Mafic, felsic, and related terms apply to silicate igneous rocks. Marble is composed of carbonates, so such terms do not apply.
Can igneous rock turn into something else?
Yes, they can turn into metamorphic rocks.
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.
When molten rocks cools what rocks form?
igneous rocks
Is marble igneous?
no Marble is a metamorphic rock
