Metamorphic rock can become igneous rock by melting and resolidifying. It can also become sedimentary rock through weathering and erosion, deposition and lithification. It can also become a higher grade metamorphic rock. In a few instances, it can also become a retrograde metamorphic rock. Igneous rock can form from any rock type, if the rock type is melted then cools to a solid.
What else can I help you with?
Does Metamorphic rocks form only from igneous rocks true or false?
False. Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks through processes such as heat, pressure, and/or chemical activity. The rock's original composition and mineralogy can change during this process.
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms what substance?
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma.
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.
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.
How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks by being subjected to high heat and pressure, causing recrystallization of minerals. Igneous rocks can also weather and erode to form sediment, which can then be deposited, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.
Does Metamorphic rocks form only from igneous rocks true or false?
False. Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks through processes such as heat, pressure, and/or chemical activity. The rock's original composition and mineralogy can change during this process.
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms what substance?
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma.
What do Volcanic eruptions form igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
Igneous rocks
When magma cools and hardens does it form igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
igneous rock.
What type of rock can only be formed from sedimentary rock or igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock can form from igneous and sedimentary rock. It can also form from previously metamorphosed rock into a higher grade metamorphic rock.
Can heat form an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?
metamorphic because it melts the rock and forms another
True or false the tree main types are igneos sedimentary and magma?
That is false. The 3 main types of rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
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.
How can a igneous rock form into a metamorphic rock?
The igneous rock gets pushed deeper and deeper and slowly turns into lava or magma and slowly cools into metamorphic rock.
What kind of rock does Igneous rock eventually form?
Sedimentary or metamorphic.
What rock can only be formed from sedimenta rock or igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks. With proper heat and pressure sedimentary and igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks.
What makes a sedimentary or igneous rock form to a metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure is applied to the rock and it becomes a metamorphic rock.
