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.
It becomes igneous rock
They become igneous rock. Anorthosite and basalt are the two primary igneous rocks on the surface of the moon.
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.
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
A metamorphic rock can become a igneous rock by melting and cooling
Yes, granite is a type of igneous rock.
igneous rock
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.
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.
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.
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
Any metamorphic rock can melt and recrystallize and become an igneous rock.
