What would any rock have to go through in order to become an igneous rock?

it would have to be completely remelted deep in the earth then rise to or near the surface and resolidify.

When granite melts and then solidifies it become?
It would become an igneous rock. What type of igneous rock would depend on what it mixed with while molten, and if it solidified at or under the surface.
How does igneous rock becomes metamorphic?
Igneous rocks, such as granite, when subjected to extreme pressure and temperature will change to metamorphic rock. Evidence that an igneous rock had undergone metamorphism would include light and dark mineral banding; possibly with indications of partial melting in highly metamorphosed samples.

How do metamorphic rocks change to igneous?
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.
What igneous rocks does marble turn into?
It's impossible to say what specific igneous rock the rock marble may become after it is melted and becomes mixed with other molten rock before solidification into an igneous rock. It would most certainly have none of the characteristics of the original marble.
Describe how an igneous rock may become transformed into other rock types and back into igneous rock?
Describe how an igneous rock may become transformed into other rock types and back into igneous rock? The Igneous Rock would have to go through many stages known as the Rock Cycle. The Rock Cycle steps would be: Igneous Rock than it would have to go threw erosion to become a Sedimentary Rock than it would have to go through Heat and Pressure to become a Metamorphic Rock. Then The Metamorphic Rock would have to go through melting to become a Molten Rock (Lave/Magma). Then finally it would have to go through cooling to become a Igneous Rock again<3[: ---♥PandaBabby69♥
What does slate become when it becomes a igneous rock?
An igneous rock is cooled magma. So first it would have to melt. From there it could become any igneous rock depending on the environment.
When granite melts and then solidifies it become?
It would become an igneous rock. What type of igneous rock would depend on what it mixed with while molten, and if it solidified at or under the surface.

How could a metamorphic rock go to a igneous rock?
If a metamorphic rock were to reach the mantle and melt, it would become magma. If that magma were then to recrystallize it would be an igneous rock.
When granite melts then solidifies it becomes?
It would become an igneous rock. What type of igneous rock would depend on what it mixed with while molten, and if it solidified at or under the surface.
How would a metamorphic rock become an igneous rock?
by the lava melting the rock and cooling then peaces of rocks and sediments are pushed together to form an igneous rock
What could cause an igneous rock to become soil?
erosion but it would take thousand of years
What igneous rock would form from magma if it did not reach the surface but instead crystallized?
Intrusive igneous rock would form. Granite is an example. If the same magma that formed the granite had reached the surface through volcanic eruption, the extrusive igneous rock rhyolite would form.
How do metamorphic rocks change to igneous?
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.
How much money would you get by selling an igneous rock?
Probably not very much, igneous rocks are caused through the cooling of magma or larva and are very common on earth. Granite and Basalt are examples of igneous rocks.
When magma rises what geological formation can result?
If it has broken through the Earth's crust then it would be a igneous extrusion and a volcano can form. If it hasn't complete broke through the crust it would be a igneous intrusion. Depending if the intrusion was concordant or discordant with the bedding planes it would be either a sill or a dyke.
