How is igneous rock changed?

igneous rock is changed into sedimentary rock when it weather and erodes then it is semented together igneos rock changes into metimorphic rock when it is melted down into magma melted rock and is put through alot of heat and pressure


What would happen if an igneous rock was introduced to heat and pressure?

It can be either baked and squished into a metamorphic rock, or, if the heat is high enough, it can be melted (and eventually recrystallized) into a new igneous rock.


Is metamorphic rock the rock of heat and pressure?

The rock that gets heat+pressure to turn into a metamorphic rock.


What hot melted rock formed deep within earth by pressure and heat?

The hot melted rock formed deep within the Earth by pressure and heat is called magma. This molten rock originates from the mantle and can rise towards the surface, where it may lead to volcanic activity. When magma erupts through a volcano, it is referred to as lava. Over time, as magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rocks.


How are pressure and heat involved in melting rock in the mantle?

Pressure and heat in the mantle cause the rocks to become ductile and start deforming. As pressure decreases and heat increases due to the rising of magma, the rocks reach their melting point, allowing them to melt. This melted rock can then rise to the surface as magma and form igneous rocks.


How Does heat turn into lava?

The rocks in the center of the Earth are under so much pressure that the heat makes the rocks melt. The melted rock is magma, or lava once it has got out of the ground.


What is rock formrd by heat or pressure?

Rock formed by heat and pressure becomes transformed and altered, such rock is called Metamorphic Rock.


When can heat change rock to metamorphic rock?

What is a rock that has changed through high temperature and pressure without being melted?

metamorphic rock


How can a rock be transformed into a metamorphic rock?

Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.


How metamorphic rock change into igneous rock?

it has to be melted and then has to re-solidify. Heat (lots of it) to melt the rock is what is needed.
