What process can change igneous rock into metamorphic rock?
The process is; heat, and pressure.
How can a metamorphic rock be change into an igneous rock?
By a process of melting and re-solidification of the melt produced..

Can any type of rock change?
Yes, because sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic and metamorphic can change into igneous rocks.
How does metamorphic rock change into igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock which is exposed to increasing heat and pressure from various sources can eventually melt. If this melt then solidifies, it has become igneous rock.
How does igneous and metamorphic rocks change into sediments?
by hardening over time
What 2 processes can change igneous and metamorphic rock into sediments?
Erosion
How the igneous rocks change?
Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.
What process can change igneous rock into metamorphic rock?
The process is; heat, and pressure.
What geologic process change granite igneous rock into gneiss metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure cause granite to change to gneiss.
What process helps change metamorphic and igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Weathing and erosion.
Which process can cause metamorphic rock to change into igneous rock?
Melting of the bulk of the metamorphic rock, then solidification from cooling, will form an igneous rock.
What process must take place to change igneous or metamorphic rock to sedimentary rock?
All rocks on Earth take part in the "Rock Cycle". For an igneous or metamorphic rock to change into a sedimentary rock, they must undergo weathering and erosion by wind, water, and/or ice. The broken down pieces of rock (sediments) settle into layers that form a sedimentary rock.
How could an igneous rock change to a metamorphic rock?
Under influence of pressure and temperature, a rock can change, the process is called deformation or metamorphism, the result is a metamorphic rock. This can happen to igneous rocks as well.
How can a metamorphic rock be change into an igneous rock?
By a process of melting and re-solidification of the melt produced..

What event creates change of the sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock can be eroded into sediments, heated and compressed into metamorphic rock, or melted into magma and cooled into igneous rock.
