How can metamorphic become igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock can melt under the surface of the earth, and the harden into an Igneous rock. As an Igneous, it could crystalize, or break down into sediment where it can become either Igneous or Sedimentary.
What types of rocks can become igneous rocks?
All rocks can become igneous rocks. With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock. There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.
For metamorphic rock to become igneous rock what steps are necessary?
Metamorphic rock can not become igneous rock, however igneous rock can become metamorphic. This process happens over time as the rocks are shifted, compressed and heated by the Earth.
How can a metomorphic rock become an igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks underground melt to become magma. When a volcano erupts, magma flows out of it. As the lava cools it hardens and becomes igneous rock.
Describe how an igneous rock may become transformed into other rock types and back into igneous rock?
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♥
Is the earth's crust sedimentary rock?
no it can also be metaphoric or igneous rock
What rock does cholcopyrite come from?
It comes from either metaphoric rocks or igneous rocks.
What is meant by the Earth's crust?
It is a composition of great variety of igneous, metaphoric, and sedimentary rocks.
What rock is more likely to be found by a volcano?
volcanic rock , or even a type of rock in a classified section , sedimentary , metaphoric , or even igneous. the answer is volcanic rock a type of metaphoric rock. :)
What is the main type of energy used to help convert metaphoric rocks into igneous rocks?
lots of heat energy
How can a igneous rock change into a metaphoric rock?
I presume you mean Metamorphic. A metamorphic rock is one that has been changed by heat and pressure. An igneous rock that is exposed to heat can be changed.
How can a piece of granite can be changed from an igneous rock to a sedimatery rock and then to a metaphoric?
A piece of granite can be changed from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock, and then to a metamorphic rock as it gets buried deeper within the Earth's crust.
How are igneous metaphoric and sedamentary rocks the same?
They all have minerals in them and are formed either underground by compression and cementation and If above ground heat and pressure.
How can an igneous rock become a metamorphic?
A metamorphic rock can become a igneous rock by melting and cooling
How do igneous rock become metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks become igneous rocks by melting from heat and pressure, remnants of which may cool from melt (magma) and become components of igneous rock.
How igneous rock become igneous?
because when it melts it turns in to magma
How can metamorphic become igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock can melt under the surface of the earth, and the harden into an Igneous rock. As an Igneous, it could crystalize, or break down into sediment where it can become either Igneous or Sedimentary.
