What are two things that could happen to a metamorphic rock to continue the rock cycle?
Metamorphic rocks can melt into magma and then undergo cooling and crystallization to become an igneous rock. Or, they can undergo weathering and erosion into sediments and then lithify to become sedimentary rocks. +++ They can melt and become magma only if subducted - a process normally confined to the sea-floor plate.
Is Amethyst an igneous or metamorphic rock?
Amethyst is a type of mineral from the quartz family, not a rock. Quartz is formed in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary environments, but amethyst specifically is often found in metamorphic rocks.
From the rock cycle describe the changes that a sedimentary rock could undergo?
A sedimentary rock could undergo further compaction and cementation to become a metamorphic rock due to increased heat and pressure. It could also melt and solidify into an igneous rock through volcanic activity. If exposed to erosion, it could break down into sediments and form new sedimentary rocks through deposition and lithification.
What are flavors that include igneous metamorphic sedimentary?
Some examples of flavors that include igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary elements are volcanic rock salt, which combines the mineral-rich properties of igneous rocks with a salty taste; slate-aged whiskey, which takes on unique flavors from the metamorphic rock it is aged on; and fossilized sea salt, which incorporates sedimentary elements from ancient oceans into its taste profile. These flavors showcase the diverse geological influences that can contribute to the complexity of food and beverage products.
What does slate become when it becomes a igneous rock?
When slate undergoes metamorphism and is further subjected to heat and pressure, it can transform into a type of metamorphic rock known as schist. This process involves recrystallization of the minerals within the slate, resulting in the development of a distinctive foliated texture characteristic of schist.
How can metamorphic become igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock can melt under the surface of the earth, and the harden into an Igneous rock. As an Igneous, it could crystalize, or break down into sediment where it can become either Igneous or Sedimentary.
How could a metamorphic rock go to a igneous rock?
If a metamorphic rock were to reach the mantle and melt, it would become magma. If that magma were then to recrystallize it would be an igneous rock.
What rocks can pyrite be found in?
Pyrite could be found in any of the three rock types (sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic).
Could a sedimentary and igneous rocks form into a metamorphic rock?
Yes.
Can a foliated rock begin as an igneous rock?
Yes. A foliated metamorphic rock could have an igneous rock as a protolith.
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.

What is the name of black mineral in igneous and metamorphic rocks?
The black in igneous and metamorphic rocks could be any of numerous black minerals. Two that are commonly found are biotite mica and hornblende.
What happens to a old rusty piece of granite?
It gets weathered into sediment or it could be subjected to heat and pressure and become a metamorphic rock, or it could melt into magma and cool into an igneous rock.
Is Amethyst an igneous or metamorphic rock?
Amethyst is a type of mineral from the quartz family, not a rock. Quartz is formed in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary environments, but amethyst specifically is often found in metamorphic rocks.
How do metamorphic rocks change to igneous?
A metamorphic rock is a rock that has changed form through heat and pressure so a igneous rock (made from molten material from the earth that has solidified) would change to metamorphic rock through heat and pressure.
Can the gravel in a sedimentary rock consist of both igneous and metamorphic rock?
Rock contained within a sedimentary rock could be igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary, or any combination of the three rock types in origin.
