Limestone, from heat, can melt into magma.
Mainly, it is weathered and eroded back into calcium carbonate solution in the sea, with its insoluble fraction left as the sediment from which it was created.
Lastly, heat and pressure (contact metamorphism) can alter it into marble (a metamorphic rock).
What else can I help you with?
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
What is the name for rocks changing between sedimentary metamorphic and igneous rocks?
The rock cycle.
How does a sedimentary rock contain pieces of igneous rocks?
Igneous rock pieces can stick together through cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
What evidence can you find in sedimentary rocks?
The Rock cycle is a process whereby all types of rock are formed then eroded and "recycled" through different depositional processes. Sedimentary rocks can provide evidence that the rock cycle exists by looking at it under a microscope. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the lithification of grains of different sizes shapes and compositions. By detemining the compositions of the grains within a sedimentary rock through a petrographic microscope or through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) then it can be seen that some grains are composed of minerals that are solely igneous in origin. Likewise, sedimentary rocks can be metamorphosed to form meta-sediments.
Does a sedimentary rock crumble?
That's when the rocks it goes through the process of erosion.
Why wont sedimentary rocks ever be the only type of rock?
Because a sedimentary rock goes through the rock cycle.
Is it possible for rocks in the rock cycle to skip becoming sedimentary rock?
Yes, it is possible for rocks in the rock cycle to skip becoming sedimentary rock. Rocks can undergo processes such as metamorphism or melting to transform directly into igneous or metamorphic rocks without passing through a sedimentary stage.
What are the 3 rocks in the rock cycle?
Three (3) rocks in the rock cycle are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock.
Where does the rock cycle start?
The rock cycle can start in multiple ways, but often it begins with the formation of igneous rocks through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. These igneous rocks can then be weathered and eroded into sediment, which may eventually become sedimentary rocks through compaction and cementation. The sedimentary and igneous rocks can then be transformed into metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure.
What the rock cycle describe?
The rock cycle describes how rocks are formed, and how they change to sedimentary rock, to metamorphic rock, to magma, to igneous rock, to sediment, and back to sedimentary rock.
Do sedimentary rocks change?
Yes they change as they go through different levels of the rock cycle
Does all rocks go through the rock cycle?
Yes, all rocks can go through the rock cycle. The rock cycle involves the transformation of rocks from one type to another through processes like weathering, erosion, deposition, and heat and pressure. Rocks can change from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic forms and back again through different stages of the rock cycle.
Can sedimentary rocks come from other sedimentary rocks?
Yes, through the process of erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification, sediments from existing sedimentary rocks can be weathered and broken down to form new sedimentary rocks. The cycle of sedimentary rock formation can involve the breakdown and reformation of older sedimentary rocks.
How does the sedimentary rocks change into other types of rocks?
by the rock cycle :)
What is the first step in the rock cycle turning metamorphic and igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks?
The first step in the rock cycle that turns metamorphic and igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks is weathering. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces through physical or chemical processes. These smaller rock fragments are then transported and deposited as sediment, eventually forming sedimentary rocks through compaction and cementation.
Does every rock go through the rock cycle by changing from igneous rock to sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock and then back to igneous rock?
Not every rock goes through the entire rock cycle in a linear progression from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic and back to igneous. The rock cycle is more complex, with rocks undergoing various processes depending on environmental conditions. For instance, an igneous rock may weather and erode into sediment, forming sedimentary rock, but it doesn't necessarily have to transform into metamorphic rock. Additionally, rocks can be recycled in different ways, such as sedimentary rocks melting into magma or metamorphic rocks being directly uplifted and eroded.
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
