What three types of rocks can be metamorphosed into metamorphic rocks?
The 3 basic rock types are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, which can all be changed or metamorphosed by heat and pressure.
What are 3 ways to classify clastic sedimentary rocks?
pieces of rock
What the different forces that the rock layers are subjected to?
The rock layers are subjected to many different types of forces. Some of them are:1. Weathering2. Climate change-torrential rainfall,scorching heat and freezing of water between the cracks formed in the rocks,etc.3.vibrations caused by the hoofs of different types of creatures
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♥

What are the 3 rocks in the rock cycle?
Three (3) rocks in the rock cycle are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock.
The Three Rock Types and the Rock Cycle?
The three main rock types are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed from cooled and solidified magma, sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediment, and metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure. The rock cycle is a continuous process where these three types of rocks are constantly being transformed from one type to another through processes like weathering, erosion, and heat and pressure.
Any type of rock?
Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic rocks are the 3 types of rocks.
Explain why there are so many possible paths in the rock cycle?
There are many possible paths in the rock cycle because rocks can undergo various processes like weathering, erosion, deposition, burial, heat, and pressure, leading to their transformation into different types of rocks. These processes can occur in different sequences and combinations, resulting in numerous pathways through the rock cycle.
What are 3 major rock types?
Igneous Rocks,Sedimentary Rocks,Metamorphic Rocks.
What biogeochemical cycles are dependent on the rock cycle?
The phosphorus cycle is dependent on the rock cycle because phosphorus is released from rocks through weathering processes, entering the biogeochemical cycle. Similarly, the calcium cycle is also linked to the rock cycle as calcium is stored in rocks like limestone and released through weathering. Additionally, the sulfur cycle interacts with the rock cycle as sulfur compounds in rocks can be released through weathering and volcanic activity.
Scientists divide rocks into groups based on what?
Rocks are grouped by how they are formed. There are 3 types of rocks. Sedimentary, Metamorphic, and Igneous rock. Sedimentary rocks are made from broken down rocks, called sediment, which come from all three rocks. Metamorphic rocks come from existing rocks that are changed by heat and pressure. The Igneous rocks are formed from magma that rose up to the surface, also known as lava. When the lava cools and hardens it forms igneous rocks. That is a rock cycle.

What are the various types of geological cycles?
1. Tectonic (lithospheric) cycle. 2. Rock cycle. 3. Mineral (minerological) cycle.
What are 3 types of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic, Chemical and Organic sedimentary rock.
What three types of rocks can melt to form magma?
All types of rock can melt. Thus potentially ALL types of rocks can form a magma. Your question - asking for 3 types, is therefore meaningless.
What does the rock cycle describe?
The rock cycle is the natural process in which rocks transform from one rock type into another rock type over time, a type of natural recycling.Igneous rocks, which are formed from magma cooling underground, or lava above ground are formed from previous igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks which have become melted, usually as a result of plate collision and subduction.------->When these igneous rocks are exposed to weathering and erosion, they break down into smaller particles that are transported by wind and water to a place of deposition, where they can form into sedimentary rock strata, through a process of lithification, where excess water is squeezed out by overburden pressures and the particles are cemented together by various minerals precipitating out of solution. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can both be turned into sedimentary rocks in this way.------->Igneous and sedimentary rocks can also be changed by heat and/or pressure into metamorphic rocks, by transforming their existing mineral structures into new minerals or realigning the existing minerals. There are different degrees of metamorphism, so even an existing metamorphic rock can become a different metamorphic rock. -------->If these metamorphic rocks are melted, then solidify, they become igneous rocks, and the cycle starts all over again.The rock cycle is largely driven by lithospheric plate movements which cause subduction and uplift, also by climatic conditions and the associated erosional elements.
