What in no more than three sentences can you explain the rock cycle?
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.
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-sedimentary weathering/erosion Igneous-Metamorphic high pressure and heat
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.
How do rocks change from metamorphic or sedimentary rocks to igneous rocks?
By melting and then solidifying.

Definition of a metamorphic rock?
a rock that cAN CHANGE TO IGNEOUS, METAMORPHIC, AND SEDIMENTARY
How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous-sedimentary weathering/erosion Igneous-Metamorphic high pressure and heat
When igneous and sedimentary rocks change then what happened next?
they change into 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.

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
How do rocks change from metamorphic or sedimentary rocks to igneous rocks?
By melting and then solidifying.
