how rocks change form is the rock cycle.
Rocks can change into different rocks through a process called metamorphism, which involves heat, pressure, and chemical reactions within the Earth's crust or mantle. This can occur due to tectonic forces like mountain-building, volcanic activity, or deep burial. The original rock, known as the protolith, undergoes mineralogical and textural changes to form a new rock type.
Igneous rocks are formed from molten lava being cooled down. Metamorphic rocks start as igneous rocks and change form. Sedimentary rocks form from layers in the earths crust.
Yes, metamorphic rocks can be subjected to high temperatures and pressures which can cause them to melt and recrystallize into igneous rocks. This process is known as anatexis. Metamorphic rocks can also undergo weathering and erosion to form sedimentary rocks.
Yes sedimentary rocks form from erosion, consolidation, and cementation of old rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from changes to an existing rock through a mineralogical change within brought on primarily by heat and to some extent by pressure.
Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks can change into igneous rocks through the process of melting and cooling. When subjected to intense heat and pressure, the rocks can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify, forming igneous rocks.

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.

Sedimentary rocks change under great pressure and temperature condition to form metamorphic rocks
The three major rock groups that change by natural forces are igneous rocks, which form from the cooling of magma and can be weathered into sedimentary rocks; sedimentary rocks, which can be compressed and heated to form metamorphic rocks; and metamorphic rocks, which can be melted to form magma and cool into igneous rocks.
