How can an igneous rock change into a sedimentary rock over millions of years?
When an igneous rock is eroded by rain, wind, etc. the small grains and dust are swept into streams and rivers. Eventually they are deposited in lakes, seas or oceans. After a long time these sediments build up and are covered by later sediments. Due to compaction from overlying sediments they gradually turn into a rock, a sedimentary rock.
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
Rock and soil deposited by streams are called?
Sediments.
How does rock fragments turn into rock?
Rock fragments are called sediments and by a process called lithification they turn into sedimentary rocks. Lithification is made up by compaction and cementation which is by pressure and a natural glue that is formed from groundwater the sediments stick together and then harden into rock.
What are the 5 steps for an igneous rock to become a sedimentary rock?
Weathering and ErosionDepositionCompactionLithificationCementationThose are the five steps for an igneous rock to become a sedimentary rock!
How do exsting rock turn into sediments?
the rock will turn to sediment after imeanse pressure.
What would happen to a metamorphic rock that was wheathered and broken down into sediments?
The sediments made of the metamorphic rock would turn into sedimentary rock.
When many years go by sediments turn into what?
Rock
What can happen to a rock once its form?
it can turn into molten rock it can be heated and pressured and turn into metamorphic it can weather and turn to sediments
What happens when rocks weathered?
When sedimentary rocks are weathered and eroded, they turn into sediments. And after compaction and cementation of the sediments, it will turn back into sedimentary rock.
What can happen to a sedimentary rock once it's formed?
it can turn into molten rock it can be heated and pressured and turn into metamorphic it can weather and turn to sediments
What do you need to turn metamorphic into sedimentary?
To turn metamorphic rock into sedimentary rock, you need to weather and erode the metamorphic rock into smaller particles or sediments. These sediments are then transported by natural processes such as water, wind, or ice. Once deposited, they undergo lithification, which involves compaction and cementation, transforming them into sedimentary rock.
How does erosion effect the rock cycle?
erosion can effect the rock cycle by turning igneouse and metamorphic rocks into sediments and eventualy turn into a sedimentary rock such as sandstone
What types of rocks can turn into sedimentary rocks?
the type of rock that change into sedimentary rock is igneous rock.it under go weathering to form sediments,sediments under go lithification to Ford sedimentary rocks

How does a vein enter a rock?
Liquid rock (magma, lava) condenses around a per-existing thing - OR sediments turn into sedimentary stone around an object.
