What rock results from heat and pressure melting rocks into magma?

Metamorphic rock can result from exposure to heat and/or pressure, but it may take a specific range of temperatures or specific range of pressure to turn a rock into one. Heat and pressure alone does not necessarily create a metamorphic rock from another rock type.

What rocks result from heat and pressure melting into magma?
sedimentary rocks
How is liquid magma formed?
Melting rocks.
Why does the magma have to be hot?
Magma is molten rock. Rocks have very high melting temperatures.
How does magma build up?
Where magma erupts on the surface of the earth, temperatures are lower and cooling of the magma takes place much more rapidly. This is the extrusive or volcanic environment and results in extrusive or volcanic igneous rocks.
How is lava formed?
Lava is magma that has reached the surface. Magma can be formed from the subduction and melting of cold, dense, wet oceanic crust at some convergent plate margins. The moisture in the rock assists in the melting of the crust and the rock surrounding it. Magma is also formed at hot spots in the mantle where hot material undergoes decompression melting as it rises. Decompression melting also occurs at the mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed from rising mantle rock.
What rocks result from heat and pressure melting into magma?
sedimentary rocks
When rocks are subjected to extreme pressure and heat without melting within earths crust they may become?
Magma
How does magma occur?
Magma occurrs by rocks melting inside a volcano
How is liquid magma formed?
Melting rocks.
Why does the magma have to be hot?
Magma is molten rock. Rocks have very high melting temperatures.
How do igneous rock become metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks become igneous rocks by melting from heat and pressure, remnants of which may cool from melt (magma) and become components of igneous rock.
What processes cause earth's rocks to turn into magma?
Melting.
How does magma build up?
Where magma erupts on the surface of the earth, temperatures are lower and cooling of the magma takes place much more rapidly. This is the extrusive or volcanic environment and results in extrusive or volcanic igneous rocks.
How does rock's form?
Rock forms through three processes. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compression of sediment. Igneous rocks are formed when magma crystallizes after melting. Metamorphic rocks are sedimentary and igneous rocks that have been subjected to pressure and heat .
What are three ways that magma can form?
Three ways that magma form:temperaturecompositionpressureIn addition, water causes the melting temperature to lower, which causes it to melt into magma
What does most Most magma form from?
Magma is the result of partial melting of crustal rocks. It is a eutectic melt product.
