Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
What else can I help you with?
What in no more than three sentences can you explain the rock cycle?
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.
Can igneous rock be formed into a metamorphic rock?
An igneous rock can be metamorphosed (changed) into a metamorphic rock but will no longer be an igneous rock. An igneous body can be intruded into metamorphic rocks but will still be an igneous rock that is different from the surrounding metamorphic rocks. Ethier answer work depending on how the question is read.
How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks by being subjected to high heat and pressure, causing recrystallization of minerals. Igneous rocks can also weather and erode to form sediment, which can then be deposited, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.
What are the three types of rocks involved in the rock cycle?
The three types of rocks involved in the rock cycle are igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the solidification of molten magma, sedimentary rocks form from the deposition and lithification of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from pre-existing rocks that are subjected to high heat and pressure.
How many different types of rock are there?
There are three main types of rock: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Each type forms through different processes, such as cooling and solidification for igneous rocks, deposition and lithification for sedimentary rocks, and heat and pressure for metamorphic rocks.
What is required to change an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?
Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.
How the igneous rocks change?
Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.
What processes help change metamorphic and igneous rocks to sedimentary rocks?
The rock cycle
How do igneous rocks change into 'sedimentary rocks?
AnswerUsually by subduction of sedimentary rock at plate boundaries, melting, and deposition as solidified crustal igneous rock, either extrusive or intrusive.
Is a sedimentary rock an igneous rock?
No. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are three different categories of rock.
What type of rocks change into igneous rock?
I know one of them...Sedimentary hope i helped... =) All 3 are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
What are 3 major rock types?
Igneous Rocks,Sedimentary Rocks,Metamorphic Rocks.
Why do rock fossils form in sedimentary rock and not in igneous rock?
because sedimentary rocks are on the top layer, while igneous rocks are were the magma is
What are the 3 rocks in the rock cycle?
Three (3) rocks in the rock cycle are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock.
How can a igneous rocks change into a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks can change to igneous rock when it goes through the rock cycle so a sediment can move to igneous rock where there is a volcanic activity happens making the the sediment get heat and pressure that makes igneous rock.So when you do the rock cycle you can go from igneous rock to a metamorphic rock.
Can any type of rock change?
Yes, because sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic and metamorphic can change into igneous rocks.
How does a Sedimentary rock to an igneous rock?
The sedimentary rocks would have to melt and cool again to make an igneous rock.
