If a rock gets a hot enough it will?
it will melt
What happens when minerals in igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rock melt?
When minerals in igneous and metamorphic rocks melt, they become magma, which can eventually solidify to form igneous rocks. In sedimentary rocks, when minerals melt, they can alter the rock's texture and composition, leading to the formation of metamorphic rocks through processes like recrystallization and metamorphism.
Why metamorphic rock will form neither synthetically nor naturally if the temperature is too high?
If the temperature is too high, the rock will melt into magma and form igneous rock instead of metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks form under high pressure and temperature conditions, but if the temperature becomes too high, the rock will not be able to maintain its solid state and will melt.
How metamorphic rock be transformed into igneous rock?

One of the eight basic rock forming minerals?
Quartz is one of the eight basic rock-forming minerals, also known as the "Rock-Forming Minerals of the Earth's Crust." It is abundant in igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, contributing to the structure and composition of many rock types. Along with quartz, other common rock-forming minerals include feldspar, mica, amphibole, pyroxene, olivine, calcite, and garnet.
If a rock gets a hot enough it will?
it will melt
If a rock gets hot enough what will it do?
If a rock gets hot enough, it can undergo physical and chemical changes. Depending on the temperature, rocks can melt, undergo metamorphism, or break down into different minerals. Ultimately, it will depend on the type of rock and the intensity of the heat.
If a rock gets too hot it will?
melt.
How can metamorphic rock become magma?
If the metamorphic rock becomes hot enough it can melt.
What rocks on earth were created by enough heat to completely melt the material making up the rock?
Igneous rock is formed from solidified melt.
What rock family forms magma if the temperatures and pressures are great enough to melt rock?
metamorphic
What occurs when the temperature on a rock is high enough to melt only some of the minerals in a rock?
they transform into magma
What rock is formed when sandstone is exposed to heat and pressure?
Igneous rocks-after having the chance to cool down after a melt (metamorphic rocks need pressure as well)
When a rock gets to the core does it turn into a igneous rock?
No, first it has to melt, then erupt, and then it has to cool down. When it solidifies completely, it becomes an igneous rock.
If exposed to high enough temperature and pressures long buried igneous rock?
Melt and recrystallize
What could make a rock melt?
The sun Any extreme heat. Lava, fire, kiln, blowtorch (if the rock is soft enough.)
Is lava hot enough to burn through rocks?
Lava is molten rock and could melt through thin layers of rock if given enough time before cooling.
