Is breccia a sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rock?
Yes. In the rock cycle, any sedimentary rock can be transformed into a metamorphic rock due to deep burial where the rock is changed by the earth's high temperature and pressure, an exposure to a plutonic intrusion, where rocks such as granite are formed, or any other process where heat and pressure alter the composition, appearance, and classification of a rock. An igneous rock can turn into a metamorphic rock or a sedimentary rock. A metamorphic rock can turn into an igneous rock or a sedimentary rock, and a sedimentary rock can turn into an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock.
Does a rock go through the complete rock cycle by changing from igneous rock to sedimentary to metamorphic?
Yes, it can. However, an igneous rock can change to a metamorphic rock skipping sedimentary: the tectonic plates can push igneous rock deep into the ground, forming metamorphic rock. Sedimentary can form metamorphic, metamorphic can form magma or lava by melting and/or erupting and then turn into igneous. Igneous forms sedimentary with erosion, deposition compaction, and cementation.
What are the processes that can cause igneous or metamorphic rock to turn into sedimentary rock?
The metamorphic or igneous rock would have to be weathered and eroded until it is only particulates. Those particulates must then be forced together as a layer under gravitational pressure. These particulates will then become sedimentary rocks.
What changes are involved when mud from a lake bottom turns into a sedimentary rock then into a metamorphic rock?
When mud from a lake bottom turns into a sedimentary rock, it undergoes compaction and cementation. To transform into a metamorphic rock, the sedimentary rock experiences heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust, causing recrystallization and mineral changes. This process alters the sedimentary rock's original texture, structure, and mineral composition.
How does a sedimentary rock turn into a metaorphic rock?
A sedimentary rock can turn into a metamorphic rock through the process of heat and pressure. This transformation typically involves the recrystallization of minerals within the rock, causing the structure and texture to change. Factors like temperature, pressure, and the presence of fluids all play a role in the metamorphic process.
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.
What type of rock may sedimentary rock turn into?
Metamorphic or new sedimentary rock.
What type of rock does sedimentary rock turn into when it is buried?
metamorphic
What type of rocks cannot turn into sedimentary rocks?
No rock. Any rock can turn into sedimentary rock, such as granite (igneous rock) and slate (metamorphic rock). Even sedimentary rock can turn into other sedimentary rock.
Can any sedimentary rock turn into any metamorphic rock?
no, it can't
What rock does sedimentary rock turn into at the ocean when erosion occurs?
metamorphic
What causes to a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock that turn into an igneous rock?
Melting.
Can igneous rock and sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock turn into magma?
no it can't
Explain how a metamorphic rock can be changed into a sedimentary rock?
It's the other way around: How does a sedimentary rocks turn into a metamorphic rocks? The answers is: "By heat and pressure". Metamorphic rocks never turn into sedimentary rocks.
Is breccia a sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rock?
Yes. In the rock cycle, any sedimentary rock can be transformed into a metamorphic rock due to deep burial where the rock is changed by the earth's high temperature and pressure, an exposure to a plutonic intrusion, where rocks such as granite are formed, or any other process where heat and pressure alter the composition, appearance, and classification of a rock. An igneous rock can turn into a metamorphic rock or a sedimentary rock. A metamorphic rock can turn into an igneous rock or a sedimentary rock, and a sedimentary rock can turn into an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock.
How does metamorphic rock turn to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks get turned in to metamorphic rocks by heat and pressure. They get heated by magma and convection currents, which causes the rock to change.
Can an metamorphic rock turn into either a igneous or a sedimentary rock?
yes. it can turn into either one
