What rock can be broken into fragments that may later form sedimentary rock?
Any rock (igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic) may be broken into fragments that may later be formed into sedimentary rock.
What two factors in the rock cycle may change sandstone to quartzite?
Heat and pressure
Erosion and deposition play roles in the formation of what kind of rock?
Erosion and deposition may eventually result in the formation of sedimentary rock.
How are igneous rocks changed into other rock types?
Igneous rock is reduced to particles by erosion processes. Those particles can be carried by streams or wind to a point of deposition where they may eventually lithify to become sedimentary rock. Igneous rock such as granite can be transformed to metamorphic rock by exposure to additional heat and pressure deep within the earth.
Is slate a sedimentary rock igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?
Halite is recognized by the IMA as a valid mineral, not a rock. According to the website linked below, "Halite is an evaporative sedimentary rock composed primarily of the mineral halite (sodium chloride)."
What rock can be broken into fragments that may later form sedimentary rock?
Any rock (igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic) may be broken into fragments that may later be formed into sedimentary rock.
What type of rock may sedimentary rock turn into?
Metamorphic or new sedimentary rock.
What rock can be broken into fragments that may later form sedimentary rocks?
Any rock (igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic) may be broken into fragments that may later be formed into sedimentary rock.
Can sediment rock be destroyed?
Any kind of rock can be "destroyed" when it comes down to it. If the question is whether sedimentary rock can be changed so that it is no longer the same kind of rock, the answer is - YES.Under sufficient pressure and temperature, most kinds of sedimentary rock transform into a related metamorphic rock.slate pretty much always comes from shale - and can further transform in to phyliteschist starts out as clay or mud which become shale (sedimentary rock) and through multiple transition steps over a long time eventually becomes schistgneiss may be formed from sedimentary rocklimestone (a sedimentary rock) can be transformed in to marblesand can become sandstone (sedimentary rock) and further transform into quartzitesandstone, shale, and limestone can be transformed into hornfels
What two factors in the rock cycle may change sandstone to quartzite?
Heat and pressure
What kind of rock can be broken into fragments that may later form sedimentary rock?
Any rock can be broken up and later form a sedimentary rock.
How does sedimentary rock become igneous?
If sedimentary rock is melted, then solidifies from melt, it is now an igneous rock. This can occur from contact with an intruding body of magma, or from heat and pressure from deep burial or collisions between plates and orogenic processes, where the sedimentary rock is first metamorphosed before melting.
Can pebbles change into igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
No. It's too late.Unless it gets eroded itself and eventually forms layers of sediment which may then get turned into rock.
If a rock becomes a metamorphic rock no other changes in the rock cycle will occur true or false?
False. The rock may undergo further metamorphism, or it may melt and re-solidify into igneous rock, or it may be broken down into sediment at the surface and later become sedimentary rock.
If a rock becomes a metamorphic rock no other changes in the rock cycle will occur.?
False A+
Erosion and deposition play roles in the formation of what kind of rock?
Erosion and deposition may eventually result in the formation of sedimentary rock.
Is copper a sedimentary rock?
No copper is not a metamorphic rock no-re is it a sedimentary rock or igneous it is actually a element!
