How does Sedimentary rocks change to igneous rock?

Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)


Which type of rocks can turn into an igneous rock through the rock cycle?

A metamorphic rock can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Or, a sedimentary rock (or sediments) can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Also, an igneous rock itself can undergo this process of melting and cooling as well.


How does metamorphic rock turn into another type of rock?

Metamorphic rock can turn into another type of rock through processes like weathering and erosion, which break down the rock into sediment. This sediment can then undergo compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rock, or melt and cool to form igneous rock through processes like metamorphism.


What are the steps of the rock cycle if it starts with Sedimentary rock is pulled into Earth's interior by tectonic forces?

If sedimentary rock is pulled into Earth's interior by tectonic forces, it will undergo heat and pressure, transforming into metamorphic rock. Further movement and heating could melt the metamorphic rock, turning it into magma. The magma can then cool and solidify to form igneous rock, completing the rock cycle.


From the rock cycle describe the changes that a sedimentary rock could undergo?

A sedimentary rock could undergo further compaction and cementation to become a metamorphic rock due to increased heat and pressure. It could also melt and solidify into an igneous rock through volcanic activity. If exposed to erosion, it could break down into sediments and form new sedimentary rocks through deposition and lithification.

How does a Sedimentary rock to an igneous rock?

The sedimentary rocks would have to melt and cool again to make an igneous rock.


How does a sedimentary rock becomes a ingeous rock?

A sedimentary rock can become an igneous rock through the process of melting and solidification. If sedimentary rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures in the Earth's crust or mantle, they can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify to form igneous rocks.

How might a sedimentary rock become an igneos rock?

IF the sedimentary rock is taken down deep into the earth in a subduction zone, it could melt and form lave.


Can metamorphic rock melt to form sedimentary rock?

No. If a rock melts and then re-solidifies, then by definition the resulting rock is igneous.


Does sedimentary rock form igneous rock?

Yes it can form an igneous rocks as because of pressure it may melt and form into igneous rocks.


What kind of rock does not require heat to form?

Sedimentary rock. Because when weathering and erosion occurs to igneous rock, the igneous become sediments and the sediments condense and cool, forming sedimentary rock. Therefore, sedimentary rock doesn't need heat to form.

What is the process sedimentary to igneous?

In order to get an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must be melted and then that melt must crystallize.

Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?

No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
