Is granite is a igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?

the granite melts into lava then cools becoming igneous. it erodes into sediment and then gets compressed into a sedimentary rock. the sedimentary rock becomes metamorphic with heat and pressure deep within Earth


Why does metamorphic rock often form deep within earths crust?

Metamorphic rocks are rocks which have been changed by heat an pressure. The deeper you go within the earth, the more heat and pressure there is, which is why metamorphic rocks form there.


How was the rock cycle made?

hen rocks are pushed deep under the Earth's surface, they may melt into magma. If the conditions no longer exist for the magma to stay in its liquid state, it will cool and solidify into an igneous rock. A rock that cools within the Earth is called intrusive or plutonic and will cool very slowly, producing a coarse-grained texture. As a result of volcanic activity, magma (which is called lava when it reaches Earth's surface) may cool very rapidly while being on Earth's surface exposed to the atmosphere and are called extrusive or volcanic rocks. These rocks are fine-grained and sometimes cool so rapidly that no crystals can form and result in a natural glass, such as obsidian. Any of the three main types of rocks (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks) can melt into magma and cool into igneous rocks.
