From the rock cycle describe the changes that an igneous rock could undergo?

Answer 1

As describe by the rock cycle, an igneous rock can undergo three types of changes. First, it can be weathered and then compacted into a sedimentary rock, such as obsidian weathered into shale. Next, an igneous rock can, through heat and pressure, be changed into a metamorphic rock. Granite, which is an igneous rock, can be metamorphosed into gneiss. Finally, an igneous rock can be be melted and then cooled into another igneous rock. For example granite, which results from relatively slow cooled magma in the Earth's crust, can be re-melted and rapidly cooled, turning it into obsidian.

Answer 2

an igneous rock can make other igneous
______________________________________________


that first answer above was absolute rubbish,,, I'm like a science bof so here's how it works

Step 1.
- Igneous rock gets pushed up to the surface via magma from volcano's
- Igneous rock cools, hardens, weathered and bonds with other atoms to form a sedimentary rock,

Example of igneous rock - Granite, Basalt, Pumice

Step 2.
- Sedimentary rock dissolves into the water and gets pushed under the sand of the bottom of the sea, etc
- Sedimentary rock gets heated and squashed by rock layers and earth's core
- Sedimentary rock bonds with other atoms to form a Metamorphic rock

Examples of Sedimentary rock - Chalk, Limestone, Sandstone

Step 3
- Metamorphic rock moves closer to the earths core and gets even hotter (some may get pushed to the surface)
- Metamorphic rock melts and bonds with other atoms to form an Igneous rock
- Back to step one

Examples of Metamorphic rock- Marble, Slate

Answer 3

An igneous rock could undergo weathering and erosion to break down into sediments, which may later compact and cement to form sedimentary rock. This sedimentary rock could then be subjected to heat and pressure, undergoing metamorphism to turn into metamorphic rock. Or, through further melting and cooling, an igneous rock can form again.
