What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
Which process can cause metamorphic rock to change into igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock can change into igneous rock through the process of partial melting. When metamorphic rock is exposed to high temperatures and pressures in the Earth's crust, some of its mineral components may melt and re-crystallize into new igneous rock as the magma cools and solidifies.
What is the main processes when metamorphic rock turns into igneous rock?
When metamorphic rock turns into igneous rock, the process is known as anatexis. During anatexis, the metamorphic rock is subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing it to partially melt. This molten rock then solidifies to form igneous rock as it cools and crystallizes.
What 2 processes can change igneous and metamorphic rock into sediments?
Erosion
What processes help change metamorphic and igneous rocks to sedimentary rocks?
The rock cycle
How do metamorphic rocks change into igneous rock?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
How does metamorphic rock change into igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock which is exposed to increasing heat and pressure from various sources can eventually melt. If this melt then solidifies, it has become igneous rock.
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.
How metamorphic rock can change to igneous rock?
if the igneous rock is put under heat and pressure it turns into a metamorphic
What are the processes of rock cycles?
Igneous Rock Metamorphic Rock Sedimentary Rock
Definition of a metamorphic rock?
a rock that cAN CHANGE TO IGNEOUS, METAMORPHIC, AND SEDIMENTARY
How do igneous rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
How can an Igneous rock change?
An igneous rock, just like any other rock, can be changed through metamorphic, igneous, and/or sedimentary processes. When exposed to high temp. and pressure, igneous becomes metamorphic. When re-melted, it becomes igneous again. When weathered/eroded, it becomes sedimentary.
How can igneous rock change?
An igneous rock, just like any other rock, can be changed through metamorphic, igneous, and/or sedimentary processes. When exposed to high temp. and pressure, igneous becomes metamorphic. When re-melted, it becomes igneous again. When weathered/eroded, it becomes sedimentary.
What are the processes of the major rocks?
Igneous Rock Metamorphic Rock Sedimentary Rock
