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.
What is granite bedrock?
Bedrock is the rock that underlies the soil and sediment of an area. Granite is a type of igneous rock that forms when silica-rich molten rock cools and solidifies underground.
What are the sub categories of igneous rocks?
The two types are extrusive igneous rock, which solidifies from magma on the surface, and intrusive igneous rock, which solidifies below the surface. Basalt is extrusive, granite is intrusive.
Why do rocks have small crystals?
Granite has a very similar chemistry to rhyolite. However, granite solidifies & crystallises in intrusions deep beneath the surface where the INSULATED environment results in the granite cooling slowly and therefore, having large crystals.Rhyolite solidifies at the surface, generally directly from volcanic lava, where it cools very rapidly due to lack of insulation from contact with surface temperature rocks & air. As a result of its rapid cooling, it has very small crystals.by aidan
When ice melts outside in the sun what state does it become?
It melts into liquid (water)
What igneous rock forms from granite?
Granite is already an igneous rock. If the granite simply melts and re-solidifies it will become granite again. If it melts and is erupted from a volcano, it will form rhyolite. If it melts and mixes with magma of a different composition, then it could form any number of igneous rocks.
When granite melts then solidifies it becomes?

How does metamophic rocks become igneous rocks?
When metamorphic rock melts from pressure and heat, then the product of that melt solidifies, it is considered an igneous rock.
When a sedimentary rock melts and solidifies what rock forms?
Igneous rock.
What object melts away in vinegar?
pearl
Is melting a metamorphic process?
No. If a rock melts and then re-solidifies the result is counted as igneous, not metamorphic.
Mica and feldspar form from slowly cooling magma that solidifies into a what?
intrusive igneous rock eg Granite
What is granite bedrock?
Bedrock is the rock that underlies the soil and sediment of an area. Granite is a type of igneous rock that forms when silica-rich molten rock cools and solidifies underground.
Do minerals crystalize out of magma when it melts?
No. Magma is already at least partially molten. Mineral crystallize when magma solidifies.
When butter is heated it melts and when that melted butter cools and solidifies the process its called?
I'm pretty sure it is called condensation
When butter is heated it melts when melted butter cools and solidifies the process is called?
I'm pretty sure it is called condensation
Can metamorphic rock melt to form sedimentary rock?
No. If a rock melts and then re-solidifies, then by definition the resulting rock is igneous.
