The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma.
Metamorphic rocks are formed from the transformation of existing rocks due to heat and pressure, while igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Metamorphic rocks have a banded or foliated texture, while igneous rocks have a glassy, granular, or vesicular texture. Metamorphic rocks undergo physical and chemical changes without melting, while igneous rocks form from the cooling and crystallization of molten material.
B. Metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock forms from existing rocks that are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing them to recrystallize and change in composition without melting.
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.
Igneous rock forms when molten minerals cool from a liquid into a solid. Metamorphics forms deep under earth's crust where it's really hot. Heat and pressure changes the rock's properties, eventually turning it into an metamorphic rock.
Metamorphic rock is formed through heat and pressure acting on existing rocks, causing them to recrystallize and change their mineral composition without melting. Examples include marble, slate, and schist.
Metamorphic and sedimentary
if rock melts it will form magma, which leads to the formation of igneous rocks
Any rock that forms as the product of melting is igneous rock (unless it undergoes some further change).
Metamorphic rocks are formed from the transformation of existing rocks due to heat and pressure, while igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Metamorphic rocks have a banded or foliated texture, while igneous rocks have a glassy, granular, or vesicular texture. Metamorphic rocks undergo physical and chemical changes without melting, while igneous rocks form from the cooling and crystallization of molten material.
metamorphic because it melts the rock and forms another
milky quartz is either metamorphic or igneous
metamorphic and igneous
Metamorphic rocks form by rocks being changed while still in the solid state. If the temperature of a rock exceeds its melting point, it will melt and any rock that forms as a result will be considered igneous.
Rock forms through three processes. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compression of sediment. Igneous rocks are formed when magma crystallizes after melting. Metamorphic rocks are sedimentary and igneous rocks that have been subjected to pressure and heat .
B. Metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock forms from existing rocks that are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing them to recrystallize and change in composition without melting.
Neither. Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone, and is therefore a metamorphic rock.
Obsidian is an extrusive igneous rock, formed from rapidly cooling lava.
