Rock Cycle: Igneous Rock with erosion give sediments which will compact to give Sedimentary Rock which with heat and pressure give Metamorphic Rocks which will melt with heat and pressure to give magma

Do sedimentary rocks melt and become magma?
No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.
Lava and what can cool to become igneous rocks?
magma
What happens to magma when it produces igneous rocks?
The transition form magma to rock is a process of cooling.
What rocks are formed from the heat of a magma chamber?
Intrusive Igneous rocks
What causes igneous rocks to become magma?
Cooling to a solid.
When rocks are pushed down into the mantle and melt it become?
magma
What are two things that could happen to a metamorphic rock to continue the rock cycle?
Metamorphic rocks can melt into magma and then undergo cooling and crystallization to become an igneous rock. Or, they can undergo weathering and erosion into sediments and then lithify to become sedimentary rocks. +++ They can melt and become magma only if subducted - a process normally confined to the sea-floor plate.
Process that change rocks next to a body of magma?
Regional Metamorphism
What canges a rock in to a igeneous rock?
Igneous rocks are formed when magma solidifies, or becomes solid. Rocks become magma when they undergo extreme heat.
Magma tends to rise toward Earth's surface principally because?
Magma tends to rise towards Earth's surface primarily because rocks become less dense when they melt. The hotter the magma, the more the rocks are likely to "float," if you will.
Rock can become magma again as a result of?
erosion
What is the process called when magma transition into intrusive igneous rock?
By Magma I'm guessing you mean the molten sedimentary rocks. The process is called metamorphism.
