What is the odd one out of granite basalt sandstone?
Sandstone is the odd one out as it is a sedimentary rock, as opposed to granite and basalt which are respectively felsic and mafic igneous rocks.
What igneous rock forms from granite?
Granite is already an igneous rock. If the granite simply melts and re-solidifies it will become granite again. If it melts and is erupted from a volcano, it will form rhyolite. If it melts and mixes with magma of a different composition, then it could form any number of igneous rocks.
Example of a sedimentary rock that changes into igneous rock?
When sedimentary rock such as breccia gets buried deep within the earth, it changes into metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock then can be changed into magma and reintroduced as igneous rocks, such as rhyolite or granite.
Is sandstone an igneous rock?

Is quartzite sedimentary or igneous?

Is obsidian rock metamorphic rock sedimentary or igneous?
Obsidian is an extrusive igneous rock, formed from rapidly cooling lava.
What rock is harder than sandstone?
Granite is typically harder than sandstone. Granite is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling of molten magma, making it more dense and resistant to abrasion compared to sandstone, which is a sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is formed after magma or lava cools and hardens?
the name of the type of Rock it forms is igneous rock. it is made in lots of ways and can be made into other rocks like granite and sandstone.
Are sandstone igenous rocks?
Sandstone is not an igneous rock; it is a coarse-grained, sedimentary rock composed mostly of quartz.
When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earth's surface it forms what rock?
