What are the 5 major processes involved in forming sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rock formation begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface they begin the long slow but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock.
What process can change igneous rock into metamorphic rock?
The process is; heat, and pressure.
The process by which metamorphic rock changes to igneous begins with What?
It begins with melting.
What process can change igneous and metamorphic rocks into sediments?
Weathering and erosion.
How can a metamorphic rock be change into an igneous rock?
By a process of melting and re-solidification of the melt produced..

Is melting a metamorphic process?
No. If a rock melts and then re-solidifies the result is counted as igneous, not metamorphic.
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.
For metamorphic rock to become igneous rock what steps are necessary?
Metamorphic rock can not become igneous rock, however igneous rock can become metamorphic. This process happens over time as the rocks are shifted, compressed and heated by the Earth.
The process by which metamorphic rock changes to igneous begins with What?
It begins with melting.
Can you melt metamorphic rocks?
no, the process only happens to igneous rocks
What process can change igneous and metamorphic rocks into sediments?
Weathering 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 kind of rock is formed from the process of the plates movement?
Igneous and Metamorphic rocks.
Which is not a process involved in formation of sedimentary rock?
Cementing is not a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rock.
