How the igneous rocks change?

Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.


When igneous and sedimentary rocks change then what happened next?

they change into metamorphic rocks


What is required to change an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?

Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.


What can make Sedimentary Rocks and Igneous Rocks change into Metamorphic Rocks?

heat and pressure.


How do rocks change from metamorphic or sedimentary rocks to igneous rocks?

Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks can change into igneous rocks through the process of melting and cooling. When subjected to intense heat and pressure, the rocks can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify, forming igneous rocks.


What are three types of rocks?

igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic


How rocks are created?

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have "morphed" into another kind of rock. These rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks. How do sedimentary and igneous rocks change? The rocks are under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change. If you exam metamorphic rock samples closely, you'll discover how flattened some of the grains in the rock are.


What kinds of rocks can be change into metamorphic rocks?

Many kinds of rocks both of igneous and sedimentary nature eg; Limestone (sedimentary ) to marble or granite or diorite (igneous) to gneiss.


Are sedimentary rocks are harder than igneous rocks?

No, igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks on average.


Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?

Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks


Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?

What causes sedimentary or igneous rocks to turn into metamorphic rock?

Heat and Pressure.
