Can an igneous rock and a sedimentary rock be put together to make a metaamorphic rock?

An igneous rock has been melted and allowed to cool. Granite and andesite would be examples.
A sedimentary rock has been formed from the accumulation of waterborne or airborne dusts, silts, sand, and similar. Literally the accumulation of sediments. With no chemical alteration of the material.
Metamorphosis is by definition, a change of state. Generally by heat, pressure, or fluids. Change is the essence.
In the magma melt, it is indifferent whether the feedstocks are sedimentary or plutonic. The feedstock will alter the output product however. e.g. Whether it is rhyolite or andesite.

How can igneous rock disturb sedimentary rock layers?
Igneous rocks can disturb sedimentary rock layers and formations by their movement during ascent through such layer. when they make contact with this sedimentary rocks they could result to folding and/or metamorphism.
What type of rocks make up the earths crust?
The crust is composed of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
What are the 3 types of rocks that make up the earth's crust?
If I recall correctly, the answer is: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.
What percent of the earth's crust is sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock; this is because the earth is constantly going through the rock cycle and both igneous rock and metamorphic rock have a lot to deal with under the earths surface and sedimentary rocks doesn't it just builds and builds over time which creates 75% of rock the covers the earth surface.
When layers of sediment get squeezed together they make this rock type called?
i think it is limestone It is called sedimentary rock.
How do igneous rocks from into a sedimentary rock?
igneous rocks mix with metamorphic rocks and they combine together to make a sedimentary rock. the three themes of science rocks are metamorphic,igneous, and sedimentary.
How does a Sedimentary rock to an igneous rock?
The sedimentary rocks would have to melt and cool again to make an igneous rock.
What are 2 things the same about igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Both are composed of minerals. Some sedimentary rocks contain pieces of igneous rocks.
What make up and sedimentary metamorphic and igneous?
sedimentary, erosion products and/or organic matter that has become glued together over time into rockmetamorphic, sedimentary or igneous rock that has been changed in form by very high temperature and pressure while deep undergroundigneous, solidified by cooling from molten rock
How are sedimentary metamorphic and igneous formed?
metamorphic - formed when igneous or sedimentary rocks are put under extreme heat and/or pressure. igneous - volcanic rock (comes from a volcano) sedimentary - particles of rock/sand/shells/clay etc. 'gathered' to make a rock.
What rock helps make metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rock.
How can igneous rock disturb sedimentary rock layers?
Igneous rocks can disturb sedimentary rock layers and formations by their movement during ascent through such layer. when they make contact with this sedimentary rocks they could result to folding and/or metamorphism.
What type of rock is made from weathering and erosion?
Sedimentary rock is formed when igneous rocks weather to sediments, then the sediments compact to sedimentary rock. When Igneous rocks are subjected to heat and pressure but do not melt, they become metamorphic rock. When igneous rocks are melted they make other igneous rocks.
What type of rocks make up the earths crust?
The crust is composed of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
Rocks that form when layers of rock particles are squeezed or stuck together?
I beileve the awnser would be Sedimentary Rocks because you know that if Igneous rocks are weathering, they turn into sediments. And if the sediments are squeezed or stuck together it would make a sedimentary rock. And the rock particles are sediments.
What can make Sedimentary Rocks and Igneous Rocks change into Metamorphic Rocks?
heat and pressure.
What type of rocks make up the lithosphere?
There are actually three - metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary
