What is the process and paths that could move the material through the rock cycle until it again forms newly cooled igneous rock?

instead of what was here that was irrelevant here is a actual answer
a igneous rock can wither away and turn into a sedimentary rock then go under heat and pressure to turn into a metamorphic rock then melt into magma and cool turning it back to a igneous rock

Name one mafic igneous rock formed when melted rock material cooled near the surface of the earth?
Granite
What is the difference in appearance between igneous rocks that have cooled slowly and igneous rocks that have cooled quickly?
Igneous rocks that cooled slowly are intrusive. Igneous rocks that cooled quickly are extrusive. Intrusive rocks form larger crystals, because the crystals have a longer time to grow. Extrusive rocks have small to no crystals, because they had little or no time to grow/form.
What is the igneous rock that cooled too quickly for a crystal structure to form?
Volcanic glass or obsidian is a quickly cooled igneous rock without a mineral crystal structure.
What determines how large the crystals in an igneous rock will be?
How fast the magma or lava cooled. How fast the rock cooled
What does the presence of tiny crystals in a piece of igneous rock tell you about it?
Tiny crystals in the igneous rock tells you it cooled quickley.
What material is magma after it is cooled and crystallized?
It becomes igneous rock.
What igneous rock is formed from magma or lava cools and hardens?
Cooled magma, lava, or pyroclastic material is igneous rock. Cooled magma forms intrusive igneous rock, while lava and pyroclastic material form extrusive rock. Anything beyond that depends on more specific factors.
Magma is molten material that forms .?
Magma is molten material that when cooled forms a solid called igneous rock
Why is it unlikely that fossils would be found in igneous rock?
Igneous rock is cooled Magma. Organic material is vaporized at that heat. Fossils are readily fornd in sedimentary rock where the organic material is covered under layers of silt which, through time and pressure, forms into sedimentary rock.
How is Any rock solidified from molten material is classified as?
Any rock created by the cooling of magma or molten material is classified as an igneous rock. These rocks can either be cooled in the earth or on the earths surface. Rocks cooled inside the earth are called intrusive igneous rocks, and have large crystals. Rocks cooled on the earth's surface are called extrusive igneous rocks. These rocks, due to faster cooling times, have very very tiny crystals.
Name one mafic igneous rock formed when melted rock material cooled near the surface of the earth?
Granite
A rock made from cooled magma or lava?
Igneous rock is formed from solidified and cooled magma or lava.
Is a igneous rock hot or cold?
It would be hot at first, whenever it is being formed. After this process is over, it get cooled.
What Igneous rocks are cooled within the Earth?
Intrusive igneous rocks.
Is metamorphic rock a cooled lava?
No. Cooled lava would be igneous.
Which rock type forms from cooled magma?
what type of rock is formed from magma and cooled on earth surface
Why is a volcano an extrusive igneous feature rather than an intrusive feature?
A volcano is composed of material that cooled and solidified at the surface, which makes it extrusive.
