No. All rocks can become other rocks by the processes of erosion and metamorphism.
An igneous rock may become eroded into its constituent mineral grains such as quartz and feldspar, which are transported by wind and water, eventually settling to form a sedimentary rock.
An igneous rock may become buried by tectonic movement and sediment, where heat and pressure cause it to recrystallise into a metamorphic rock, and or melt and resolidify into another type of igneous rock. Also in the rock cycle it can become sediment, metamorphic rock or melt again
What else can I help you with?
Which rock is formed from melted minerals?
Igneous rock is formed from melted minerals that have solidified and cooled. This process can occur either beneath the Earth's surface, forming intrusive igneous rocks, or on the surface, leading to extrusive igneous rocks.
Is all igneous rock formed from lava that cooled on Earths surface?
No, not all igneous rock is formed from lava that cooled on Earth's surface. Some igneous rocks are formed from magma that cooled below the surface, and these are called intrusive igneous rocks. These rocks cool more slowly than lava, allowing for larger mineral crystals to form.
Are all inorganic rocks formed from other rocks?
No, not all inorganic rocks are formed from other rocks. Some inorganic rocks, such as igneous rocks, are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten materials like lava or magma. These rocks do not necessarily originate from pre-existing rocks.
What kind of texture can a chemically formed rock have?
All sorts as all rocks have their own textures and are all formed from chemical compounds, but the primarily chemically-formed ones are the igneous rocks and associated minerals.
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
What 2 rocks are formed from all 3 kinds of rocks?
I would say Igneous and Metamorphic rocks.
What kind of rocks are formed in the rock cycle?
All the classes of rocks. The igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks

What are the same about igneous metamorphic and sedimentary?
they are all rocks

How does the Rocks Cycle classify rocks?
The rock cycle classifies rocks into three main categories: igneous rocks, formed from the solidification of molten rock; sedimentary rocks, formed from the compaction and cementation of sediments; and metamorphic rocks, formed from the alteration of existing rocks through heat and pressure.
What forces are in the rock cycle?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when other rocks (igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary) are weathered and eroded and their sediments are compacted and cemented together. Metamorphic rocks can be formed when heat and pressure is applied to any type of existing rock. Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools. The magma can be made up of melted rocks of any kind (sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic). The cycle repeats itself all the time and all of the rocks can come from any other kind of rock.
What kind of texture can a chemically formed rock have?
All sorts as all rocks have their own textures and are all formed from chemical compounds, but the primarily chemically-formed ones are the igneous rocks and associated minerals.
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.

Does an igneous rock contain iron?
Igneous rocks can contain iron, but not all igneous rocks do. The presence of iron in an igneous rock depends on the composition of the magma from which the rock formed. Iron can be found in minerals such as magnetite, hematite, and pyroxene within certain igneous rocks.
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
