Which type of rock can form below Earth's surface or below Earth's surface?

Igneous rock can form deep below the surface as intrusive igneous rock, or on or near the surface as extrusive igneous rock. X Answer is: Igneous


What forces cause igneous rock to change to Sedimentary rock?

Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock through the processes of weathering and erosion. Weathering breaks down the igneous rock into smaller sediment particles, which are then transported by natural forces like wind or water. These sediments accumulate in layers and are eventually compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.


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.


How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?

Igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks by being subjected to high heat and pressure, causing recrystallization of minerals. Igneous rocks can also weather and erode to form sediment, which can then be deposited, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.


Why does the igneous rock turn into a sedimentary rock?

Igneous rocks can weather and erode over time due to exposure to the elements. The eroded particles can then be transported and deposited by wind, water, or ice to form sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation.
