What is a name of a sedimentary rock that becomes igneous?
metamorphic
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.
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.
Why Doesn't metamorphic rock occur at temperatures 1000 degrees or higher?
if rock melts it will form magma, which leads to the formation of igneous rocks
Is schist a sedimentary or igneous or metamorphic rock?
it is a metamorphic rock
What happens to a sedimentary rock after weathering?
I becomes sediments again or becomes igneous or metamorphic rock
What happens to igneous rock in intense heat and pressure?
The rock becomes a metamorphic rock
How metamorphic rock turns into igneous?
Metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock when it is melted, then solidifies.
What happens to the energy inside the rock as metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks gain enegry as they are melted by magma and then lose energy as they cool into igneous rocks.
What is a name of a sedimentary rock that becomes igneous?
metamorphic
How can an Igneous rock change?
An igneous rock, just like any other rock, can be changed through metamorphic, igneous, and/or sedimentary processes. When exposed to high temp. and pressure, igneous becomes metamorphic. When re-melted, it becomes igneous again. When weathered/eroded, it becomes sedimentary.

What makes a sedimentary or igneous rock form to a metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure is applied to the rock and it becomes a metamorphic rock.
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.
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.
Can a metamorphic rock become a extrusive igneous rock?
Yes because, when it melts and cools off then, it becomes an igneous rock.
How does a metamorphic rock becomes an igneous rock?
If a metamorphic rock is buried deeply in the earths' crust it comes under great pressures and temperatures. If these are great enough to re-melt the rock it ceases to be metamorphic and when it cools, it re-crystallizes into an igneous rock.
