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.
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.
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.
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 two things can metamorphic rock change into?
Metamorphic rock can change into igneous rock through melting and solidification, or into sedimentary rock through weathering, erosion, and lithification.
Definition of a metamorphic rock?
a rock that cAN CHANGE TO IGNEOUS, METAMORPHIC, AND SEDIMENTARY
What condition change igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rock?
Extreme heat and pressure, like that of coal turning to diamonds. Metamorphic rocks, in turn, are then broken down or turned into molten rock, so new sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks can form.
When igneous and sedimentary rocks change then what happened next?
they change into metamorphic rocks
What condition change igneous sedimentary to metamorphic rock?
The conditions that change igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock include high temperature, high pressure, and the presence of chemically active fluids. These conditions cause the minerals in the original rock to recrystallize, forming new minerals and textures characteristic of metamorphic rocks.
Can any type of rock change?
Yes, because sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic and metamorphic can change into igneous rocks.
What kind of rock can change into sedimentary or metamorphic rock?
Igneous Rock
What three types of rock can change into igneous?
I know one of them...Sedimentary hope i helped... =) All 3 are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
What type of rocks change into igneous rock?
I know one of them...Sedimentary hope i helped... =) All 3 are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
How can an igneous change into a metamorphic then into a sedimentary rock?
yo bro I got u igneous turns into metamorphic because of extreme pressure and temperature and metamorphic turns into sedimentary rock because through weathering and erosion
Intense heat and pressure change igneous and sedimentary rock into?
metamorphic rock
Will an increase of temperature igneous or sedimentary rock in a metamorphic rock?
An increase in temperature can lead to the formation of metamorphic rock from either igneous or sedimentary rock. When existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, their mineral composition and structure can change, resulting in metamorphic rock. This process, known as metamorphism, does not involve melting but rather the recrystallization of minerals. Thus, both igneous and sedimentary rocks can transform into metamorphic rocks under the right conditions.
Can igneous rock be formed into a metamorphic rock?
