What else can I help you with?
Can a igneouse rock become a sedimentary rock?
It all depends on the cycle of how it works.. 1st it would need to cause sediments by weathering + erosion. 2nd It would also need compaction and cementation to cause pressure. 3rd you have a sedimentary rock!!
Why would sedimentary rock have to become metamorphic rock before it becomes magma?
It wouldn't have to in the case of an instant melting from a meteor impact. Normally though, the evolution of a magma from sedimentary rock would include a very long process involving the gradual introduction of heat and/or pressure, causing the sedimentary rock to first metamorophose into a different type of rock.
Can you make granite?
I guess you could but it would be really really hard. Nature should be the one to make Granite, not you.
What kind of rock is calcite igneous metamorphic or sedimentary?
ANSWERCalcite is really not a rock it is a mineral therefore it can not really be metamorphic , sedimentary , or igneous. But it is usually associated in materials of sediment so most likely it is sedimentary. If you would have to pick one. SEDIMENTARY
What process can transfer igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Heat, pressure, and/or weathering changes rocks into other forms. For an igneous rock to become sedimentary rock, it would firts need to be broken down by weathering or pressure. (As of now, it's simply sediments.) For it to become sedimentary rock,those sediments must then be pressurized or "glued" together by minerals seeping into pore space and performing a process called cementation in which sediments are platered together.
When granite melts and then solidifies it become?
It would become an igneous rock. What type of igneous rock would depend on what it mixed with while molten, and if it solidified at or under the surface.
In which type of rock are fossils least likely to occur?
Fossils would not likely be found in rock other than limestone, sandstone, and shale, or rock such as marble that has morphed from these sedimentary rocks. Fossils can basically be find in most Sedimentary rocks, but not in Igneous rocks because they are formed in volcanoes.
What would happen if you put granite in water?
it will goes under the water.
Can a fossil be found in granite?
It is conceivable that a fossil could be found among sedimentary rock crystals, and some dead organisms have actually been replaced by minerals which are composed of crystals. Fossils in gems and crystals from metamorphic or igneous processes--no.
What is the type of Rock formed when smaller bits of rock become pressed or cemented together?
The type of rock formed when smaller bits of rock become pressed or cemented together is called sedimentary rock. This process involves the accumulation and compaction of sediments over time, which solidify to form sedimentary rocks.
Does granite have layers?
As granite is an igneous material, it would have to undergo a melt, taking away any form it has, such as cleavage. However, in a granite dike, the outer layer of the granite will be a chilled margin, giving it a glassy outer layer.
What would happen to a metamorphic rock that was wheathered and broken down into sediments?
The sediments made of the metamorphic rock would turn into sedimentary rock.
What would happen if you pickled a marshmallow?
it would become pickled
Can a person become what would have to happen to become amish?
You would have to live with them for a while first as a trial
How might a clam become a fossil?
A clam might become a fossil if it gets trapped on a sedimentary rock and remains there for a long..long...time.
What would happen if you had a touch of meningitis?
you would become the opposite gender
What would happen if basalt and granite collided?
If basalt and granite collided, the basalt being denser and more malleable might override the granite, causing the granite to deform or break under pressure. The result would likely be a mixed rock formation with basaltic and granitic features, depending on the extent of the collision and subsequent geological processes.
