Is graphite igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
Graphite is a metamorphic rock. It is formed from the metamorphism of organic sedimentary rocks, such as coal, under high temperature and pressure.
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 process changes a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock can change intometamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rockcan change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals.
What rock is igneous or sedimentary rock that has been changed by extreme pressure or heat?
The rock that has been changed by extreme pressure or heat is called metamorphic rock. It can form from igneous, sedimentary, or existing metamorphic rocks that undergo changes in temperature and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and gneiss.
Does a rock go through the complete rock cycle by changing from igneous rock to sedimentary to metamorphic?
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.
What changes other types of rock to metamorphic?
Heating and pressurization changes igneous and sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rock.
How does metamorphic form?
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
How Metamorphic rock form?
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
