When igneous rocks are exposed on Earth's surface and undergo weathering they eventually become which rock?
When igneous rocks are exposed on Earth's surface and undergo weathering, they break down into smaller particles and eventually become sedimentary rocks through the process of erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification.
Any rock exposed at Earths surface will undergo?
Weathering and erosion, which break down the rock into smaller pieces and transport them away. This process is driven by factors such as wind, water, and temperature changes, and eventually leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
What are three processes that a metamorphic rock must experience before it can become a sedimentary rock?
Metamorphic rocks must first undergo weathering, erosion, and transport to break down the original rock into sediment. Then, the sediment is deposited and undergoes compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
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.
When rocks move through the rock cycle is material lost?
No, in the rock cycle, material is not lost. Rocks undergo different processes such as weathering, erosion, and deposition as they move through the cycle, but the material is just transformed from one type of rock to another.

How can sedimentary rocks become igneous rocks?
ingeous become sedimentary rocks after they undergo the process of weathering either mechanical, chemical, or biological.
What rock comes after sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks can undergo metamorphism, turning it into a metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can also become melted, becoming magma and then igneous rock. It can also undergo uplift, weathering and than erosion, becoming sediments again. So the answer is any type of rock including staying itself.
Sedimentary rocks formed when they undergo?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when pre-existing rocks, minerals, or organic material undergo weathering, erosion, transportation, and deposition. These sediments then undergo compaction and cementation to form solid rock layers.
What happens to igneous rocks when the undergo weathering and erosion?
If eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented, it becomes clastic sedimentary rock.

When rocks are subjected to weathering and erosion at the earths surface what type of rock do they become?
they die
When igneous rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure they become what type o rock?
A sedimentary rock is formed when an igneous rock is subjected to weathering, erosion, compaction, and cementation!

What canges a rock in to a igeneous rock?
Igneous rocks are formed when magma solidifies, or becomes solid. Rocks become magma when they undergo extreme heat.
Would rocks rust if it was left in the rain?
Some rocks might undergo chemical weathering, but it wouldn't be considered rusting unless the rock was at least partially composed of iron.
