Igneous rocks are called fire rocks and are formed either underground or above ground. Underground, they are formed when the melted rock, called magma, deep within the earth becomes trapped in small pockets. As these pockets of magma cool slowly underground, the magma becomes igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks are also formed when volcanoes erupt, causing the magma to rise above the earth's surface. When magma appears above the earth, it is called lava. Igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools above ground.
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have "morphed" into another kind of rock. These rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks. How do sedimentary and igneous rocks change? The rocks are under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change. If you exam metamorphic rock samples closely, you'll discover how flattened some of the grains in the rock are.
What else can I help you with?
Who is correct a metamorphic rock is formed from a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock can form from an igneous rock?
A metamorphic rock can form from either a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock. When subjected to high heat and pressure, existing rocks can recrystallize and change into new types of rocks, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
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 does a extrusive igneous rock turn into a metamorphic rock?
Extrusive igneous rocks can turn into metamorphic rocks through the process of regional metamorphism, where they are subjected to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This causes the mineral composition and texture of the rock to change, resulting in the formation of a new metamorphic rock.
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms what substance?
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma.
When a rock is altered by extreme heat and pressure what type of rock is the result?
The result is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks form from pre-existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) that undergo intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth. This process causes the minerals in the rock to recrystallize and reorganize, leading to the formation of a new rock with different physical and chemical properties.
How does metamorphic rock formation compare to igneous rock formation?
Igneous rocks are formed in and around volcanos, metamorphic rocks are formed by the partial melting of rocks deep underground.
Is a sedimentary rock an igneous rock?
No. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are three different categories of rock.
Who is correct a metamorphic rock is formed from a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock can form from an igneous rock?
A metamorphic rock can form from either a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock. When subjected to high heat and pressure, existing rocks can recrystallize and change into new types of rocks, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
What provides the heat that drives the formation of igneous and metamorphic rock?
Earths hot interior
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.

Why Doesn't metamorphic rock occur at temperatures 1000 degrees or higher?
if rock melts it will form magma, which leads to the formation of igneous rocks
How does a extrusive igneous rock turn into a metamorphic rock?
Extrusive igneous rocks can turn into metamorphic rocks through the process of regional metamorphism, where they are subjected to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This causes the mineral composition and texture of the rock to change, resulting in the formation of a new metamorphic rock.
How metamorphic rock turns into igneous?
Metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock when it is melted, then solidifies.
How can an igneous rock become a metamorphic?
A metamorphic rock can become a igneous rock by melting and cooling
What are the different rocks in the rock cycle?
sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous
Which metamorphic rock changes to an igneous rock?
Any metamorphic rock can melt and recrystallize and become an igneous rock.
How do metamorphic rocks change into igneous rock?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
