Metamorphic rock form igneous rock true or false?
Metamorphic rock can become igneous rock by melting and resolidifying. It can also become sedimentary rock through weathering and erosion, deposition and lithification. It can also become a higher grade metamorphic rock. In a few instances, it can also become a retrograde metamorphic rock. Igneous rock can form from any rock type, if the rock type is melted then cools to a solid.
How can one type of rock become many different types of metamorphic rock?
Any rock can become a metamorphic rock. All that is required is for the rock to be moved into an environment in which the minerals which make up the rock become unstable and out of equilibrium with the new environmental conditions. In most cases, this involves burial which leads to a rise in temperature and pressure. The metamorphic changes in the minerals always move in a direction designed to restore equilibrium. Common metamorphic rocks include slate, schist, gneiss, and marble.
Can any rock become any other type of rock?
Yes. Metamorphic can be weathered away, end up in the ocean and become sedimentary. Sedimentary can end up in a volcano and become metamorphic. It can melt in a volcano and harden, thus becoming igneous. Then, igneous can also weather and get in the sea, just like metamorphic. Or, igneous can end up deep in the earth, where it gets squeezed into metamorphic. Hope that helped! :D
Which rock type can be formed by adding heat and pressure to any of the three types of rock?
A metamorphic rock.
What is a protolith?
A metamorphic rock changes from one form to another by intense heat or pressue. The parent rock, or protolith, is the rock that undergoes change. It can be any rock type, sedimentary, igneous, and even metamorphic.
What type of rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
What rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
What type of rocks are metamorphic rocks formed from?
Any rock can become a metamorphic rock. To become a metamorphic rock the rock must undergo heat and/or pressure, but not so much that the rock melts. Should the rock melt it would become an igneous rock.
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.
What type of metamorphism forms foliate rocks?
Any rock can undergo metamorphism, be it sedimentary, igneous or even the transformation of one type of metamorphic rock to another.
Metamorphic rock form igneous rock true or false?
Metamorphic rock can become igneous rock by melting and resolidifying. It can also become sedimentary rock through weathering and erosion, deposition and lithification. It can also become a higher grade metamorphic rock. In a few instances, it can also become a retrograde metamorphic rock. Igneous rock can form from any rock type, if the rock type is melted then cools to a solid.
Which metamorphic rock changes to an igneous rock?
Any metamorphic rock can melt and recrystallize and become an igneous rock.
What rock type is a protolith of a metamorphic rock?
A protolith can be any igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rock.
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.
Are metamorphic rocks only from igneous rocks?
no any type of rock can become any other or another form of itself.
Are metamorphic rocks formed only from igneous rocks?
no any type of rock can become any other or another form of itself.
What type of rock can form metamorphic rocks?
Any rock can undergo metamorphism, be it sedimentary, igneous or even the transformation of one type of metamorphic rock to another.
