Any rock can become a sedimentary rock (even another sedimentary rock) is it is broken down by erosion, and the resulting sediment is then redeposited, undergoes compaction and consolidation and then lithification (lithification is just the process of becoming a rock)

Any rock can become a metamorphic rock if it is subject to sufficient pressure and temperature as a result of deep burial (which will result in both high heat and high pressure) or mostly pressure e.g from the pressure of two continental plates colliding.

examples - mudstone under high pressure becomes slate
Limestone under moderately high temperature and pressure becomes marble.
Granite under intense pressure and Temperature short of actual remelting becomes a gneiss, if the greiss undergoes even greater pressure and temperature it can become a schist.

Finally, any rock subject to sufficient temperature as a result of very deep burial will melt, become magma, and of
the magma them eventually cools enough to crystallise you have a new igneous rock

Which lava is created from recycled rocks?

Heat from the Earth's core heats rock, melts it, and when this comes out of a volcano, ou get lava!


Where would you most likely find the oldest rock and why?

The oldest rocks are typically found in continental crust regions, particularly in shield areas, which are exposed portions of the ancient crystalline basement rocks. These regions, such as the Canadian Shield or parts of Greenland, contain rocks that have remained relatively undisturbed by tectonic processes. The age of these rocks can often reach over 4 billion years, reflecting the planet's early geological history. Additionally, igneous and metamorphic rocks in these areas are less likely to have been recycled or altered compared to younger sedimentary rocks.

What minerals can be recycled?

yes all minerals are recyclable. there is a mineral cycle that takes minerals into plants then eaten by animals which die and is recycled in decomposition

Why can't geologists use rocks from earth to learn how long ago earth formed?

Geologists can't use rocks from Earth to determine the planet's age because those rocks have all been recycled through the rock cycle over time. This means that the original rocks from when Earth formed no longer exist. Instead, geologists use radiometric dating of rocks from Earth's surface to estimate its age.

How is the oceanic crust recycled?

Convection in the mantle helps to recycle the oceaniccrust, not all of Earth's crust. There are two different parts to the crust. Oceanic and Continental. The Oceanic gets recycled, so when Scientists measure the age of the rocks, they're young.
