Describe how an igneous rock may become transformed into other rock types and back into igneous rock? The Igneous Rock would have to go through many stages known as the Rock Cycle. The Rock Cycle steps would be: Igneous Rock than it would have to go threw erosion to become a Sedimentary Rock than it would have to go through Heat and Pressure to become a Metamorphic Rock. Then The Metamorphic Rock would have to go through melting to become a Molten Rock (Lave/Magma). Then finally it would have to go through cooling to become a Igneous Rock again<3[: ---♥PandaBabby69♥
Yes,so can sedimentary rocks and even other metamorphic rocks.
Sedimentary rock to change to Igneous rock by applying heat and pressure , which creates Metamorphic rock . Next , Metamorphic rock turns to Magma because it melts . Lastly you have to let the Magma cool and it becomes an Igneous rock . That is how Sedimentary rock changes to Igneous rock .
other kinds of rocks are sedimentary rock or igneous rock
there are 4 bill bob and jerry and the one in abi's head she likes to call a brain Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.
Heat, pressure, and/or weathering changes rocks into other forms. For an igneous rock to become sedimentary rock, it would firts need to be broken down by weathering or pressure. (As of now, it's simply sediments.) For it to become sedimentary rock,those sediments must then be pressurized or "glued" together by minerals seeping into pore space and performing a process called cementation in which sediments are platered together.
The word felsic is used to describe igneous rocks that are rich in silica and alkali feldspar. Such rocks tend to be light in color and have a lower density than other igneous rocks.

refer to mode of formation of igneous rock, they are formed due to solidification of molten magma(lava) from within the earths crust. thus igneous rock become the major source of other rocks kind and it also contain different kind of minerals that make its hardness, other rock originate from igneous rock after some processes
no any type of rock can become any other or another form of itself.
If other layers of rock, dirt, dust, and sand are put on top of the igneous rock and the layers are compressed by their own weight, they become a single, unified layer of sedimentary rock. Simple Version: 1. Igneous rock 2. More rocks are put on the igneous rock. 3. The rock on top push down and squeeze the all of the layers into one layer.
no any type of rock can become any other or another form of itself.
Sedimentary rock is formed when igneous rocks weather to sediments, then the sediments compact to sedimentary rock. When Igneous rocks are subjected to heat and pressure but do not melt, they become metamorphic rock. When igneous rocks are melted they make other igneous rocks.
Yes. Metamorphic can be weathered away, end up in the ocean and become sedimentary. Sedimentary can end up in a volcano and become metamorphic. It can melt in a volcano and harden, thus becoming igneous. Then, igneous can also weather and get in the sea, just like metamorphic. Or, igneous can end up deep in the earth, where it gets squeezed into metamorphic. Hope that helped! :D
Basically it can be the other two types of rock in the cycle; igneous and sedimentary. Given a sufficient amount of heat and pressure is applied, any rock turns into a metamorphic rock. If a sedimentary rock such as mudstone gets metamorphosed it turns into slate. If on the other hand, an igneous type rock such as granite it can be transformed into a gneiss (high grade) or a shist (mid-grade).

I don`t know other ways but I know that It can be transformed chemically & by electroporation
It is a glassy igneous rock, so there are holes in it. The holes make the rock less dense than other igneous rocks that are Not glassy.
