Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks can become igneous rocks through the process of melting and subsequent solidification. When these rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, they can melt into magma. If this magma rises to the surface and cools, it forms igneous rock. This process is known as the rock cycle, illustrating the transformation between different rock types.
What else can I help you with?
What type of rock does quartz become after metaphism?
It becomes igneous rock
When molten rock cooled on the moon what type of rock did it become?
They become igneous rock. Anorthosite and basalt are the two primary igneous rocks on the surface of the moon.
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.
What type of rock can become sedimentary?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
How can an igneous rock become a metamorphic?
A metamorphic rock can become a igneous rock by melting and cooling
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.
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.
Is granite a igneous rock?
Yes, granite is a type of igneous rock.
A type of rock formed by molten rock solidified?
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.
What types of rocks can become sedimentary rock?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
Which type of rocks can turn into an igneous rock through the rock cycle?
A metamorphic rock can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Or, a sedimentary rock (or sediments) can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Also, an igneous rock itself can undergo this process of melting and cooling as well.
