When metamorphic rock changes to magma the magma rises and cools to become?

A metamorphic rock is formed by the elements, minor heat, and compression. When the metamorphic rock is melted by magma, this would indicate that the metamorphic rock is under the surface of the earth. If it rises and cools again you will have an extrusive igneous rock.
In a lot of cases, this is metamorphic rock on the surface under the influence of lava. This would change the composition and it would not longer be metamorphic, but rather igneous.

When do Metamorphic rocks form?
i believe that metamorphic rocks form due to magma or lava i learned about it in science 3 months ago so im a little shaky on it but then it cools and rises.
How are metamorphic rocks formed underground?
when melted rock goes underground and magma cools, igneous forms
How does metamorphic rock transform to sediment?
metamorphic rocks get compacted and cemented together until it becomes sedimentary rocks. they can also get crystallized underwater into sedimentary rock. hope you find this helpful!!! :)when a rock is put under a lot of heat and pressure it morphs into a sedimentary rock.
How does metamorphic rock turn into magma?
The rock becomes too hot that it must turn into liquid form (lava). This would usually mean that the rock had to have come into contact with lava first.
How does a metamorphic rock form into magma?
Metamorphic rock could become magma by collisions involving an oceanic plates. During subduction,any rock carried on the plate would return to the mantle and melt,forming magma
What are the changes of the state that happens when metamorphic rock changes into magma?
Solids become liquids. A phase change.
When magma cools above the earth's surface it forms?
metamorphic rock
How do metamorphic rocks change into igneous rock?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
How do igneous rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
How can a metomorphic rock become an igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks underground melt to become magma. When a volcano erupts, magma flows out of it. As the lava cools it hardens and becomes igneous rock.
How does the metamorphic rock change into a igneous rock?
metamorphic rock melts into magma and volcano erupts. lava hardens and cools
Is it possible for rocks to skip sedimentary in the rock cycle?
Yes a rock can change from metamorphic to igneous back to metamorphic the rock cycle does not go in order unless magma cools into igneous and sediment changes into sedimentary rock
When do Metamorphic rocks form?

How does a metamorphic become magma?
Extreme heat.
Do sedimentary rocks melt and become magma?
No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.
When a sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock what are the affects?
sedimentary rocks undergo metamorphism under certain heat and pressure to give the metamorphic rocks. the affect of this formation on environment is negligible as this frames the part of rock cycle. further these metamorphic rocks melts to form magma. magma further cools and solidify to form igneous rocks.
What kind of rock changes to magma after melting?
metamorphic rock
