What is conserved when metamorphic rock melts and turn into lava?
matter
What changes as a parent rock becomes a metamorphic rock?
- Cause , When The Magma Melts A Rock It Turns Into A Big Rock With A DIFFERENT Size And Shape :) Hoped I HELP YOU !
Which process changes ingeous rocks into metamorphic?
Answering "What process changes igneous rocks into metamorphic types?"Igneous rocks convert into metamorphic due to extreme pressure and heat, which can come from magma/lava or the movement of tectonic plates. For example, the igneous rock basalt eventually turns into the metamorphic rock granulite.
Why would you expect a metamorphic rock to form at a temperature lower then the melting point of rock?
If the rock melts the resulting rock type would be igneous rather than metamorphic.
How do igneous rocks change to metamorphic rock?
A metamorphic rock is a rock that has changed form through heat and pressure so a igneous rock (made from molten material from the earth that has solidified) would change to metamorphic rock through heat and pressure.
When metamorphic rock melts turns into?
Metamorphic rock that melts turns to magma. This only becomes lava if it is erupted to the surface in a volcano.
What conserved when metamorphic rock melts and turns into lava?

When metamorphic rock melts and turns into lava, is conserved?

How can a metamorphic rock turn into sedimentary rock and then back to metamorphic?
metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......
Could a metamorphic rock turn into a sedimentry rock and then back to metamorphic?
yes eventually but there are steps:metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......
When sedimentary rock melts what does it become?
It turns into a metamorphic rock.
What is conserved when metamorphic rock melts and turn into lava?

Metamorphic rock melts and turn into lava what is conserved?

How does the metamorphic rock change into a igneous rock?
metamorphic rock melts into magma and volcano erupts. lava hardens and cools
What happens to metamorphic rock when its melts?
it turns into magma
How can a igneous rock form into a metamorphic rock?
The igneous rock gets pushed deeper and deeper and slowly turns into lava or magma and slowly cools into metamorphic rock.
Is lava a metamorphic rock?
no lava is a liquid that when cooled forms extrusive igneous rock Metamorphic rock is something that has been "metamorphosed" usually by being shoved down into the high temperatures and pressures inside the earth by tectonic plate movement. Sandstone (soft) can become granite (hard) in this way.
