The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms what substance?
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma.
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.
What is basalt sedimentary ignous or metamorphic?
actually, it truly depends on the type of rock the metamorphic rock formed from. in other words, if it formed from a rock that held basalt in it, the rock has basalt in it. remember that a metamorphic rock can be formed by more than two different types of rock (such as metamorphic quartz, slate, "fool's gold", plus granite). it does not matter which class the metamorphic rock formed from (but if a m. rock such as m. quartz, there is more likely a chance of finding a trace of basalt), as long as it formed from two different class of rock (this does not always apply, for there can be a metamorphic rock made from two or more metamorphic rocks). i would get into geodes...... but that's another answer. :)
Which process can cause metamorphic rock to change into igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock can change into igneous rock through the process of partial melting. When metamorphic rock is exposed to high temperatures and pressures in the Earth's crust, some of its mineral components may melt and re-crystallize into new igneous rock as the magma cools and solidifies.
Is sodalite metamorphic rock?
No, sodalite is a metamorphic mineral, not a rock. It is a blue mineral commonly found in igneous rocks like syenite or nepheline syenite.
What rock has layers?
There are many types of rock but this one would either be Sedimantary Igneous Metamorphic
How does sedimantary rock change into metamorphic rock?
When the sedimentary rock gets pressed with great pressure, it'll turn to metamorphic rock. Also, heating of the sedimentary rock by igneous intrusions will metamorphose it.
Do rocks change into different rock in the rock cycle?
yes, rocks change. metamorphic, sedimantary and igneous rocks can change into eachother.
Why are sedimantary rocks formed?
eroded rock (from igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary) settled. they compact together to form a rock. the rock that they form is known as sedimentary 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
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
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms what substance?
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma.
How is sedimantary and igneous the same?
thay both are apart of the rock cycle
Are metamorphic rock only made out of from igneous?
No, metamorphic can be formed by either igneous or sedimetary rock.
Can a metamorphic rock go back into and igneous rock?
Yes. A metamorphic rock can melt and the re-solidify as an igneous rock.
