Yes. There are degrees of rock metamorphism, where a metamorphic rock can be altered into another metamorphic rock by increased pressure and heat.

How can 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.


When you look at a metamorphic rock how can you tell it is one?

Understand that metamorphic rocks are those that have changed in some way by heat or pressure or both. Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments and igneous rocks are formed by fire. When these rocks change again, they become metamorphic. Marble is one type of metamorphic rock.Look at the way the grain are formed. In schist rocks, you can see that the layers and the grains all go the same way. Warning Metamorphic rocks are difficult to classify because different amounts of heat or pressure to the same rock can look different.


What are the 3 major rock types and how can they change from one to another type?

The three major categories of rocks are igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. Other kinds of rock can changes to igneous by being melted and then solidifying again. Other kinds of rock can be change to sedimentary by being weathered, then transported, then deposited, and then consolidated. Other kinds of rock can be changed to metamorphic when their structure is altered by great heat or pressure or both.


When metamorphic rock changes to magma the magma rises and cools to become?

A metamorphic rock is formed by the elements, minor heat, and compression. When the metamorphic rock is melted by magma, this would indicate that the metamorphic rock is under the surface of the earth. If it rises and cools again you will have an extrusive igneous rock. In a lot of cases, this is metamorphic rock on the surface under the influence of lava. This would change the composition and it would not longer be metamorphic, but rather igneous.


How would a metamorphic rock become into a new metamorphic rock?

It breaks down and the cycle starts again

i don't know if you can. if you have changed it multiple times, just wait a few months and then try again.

What do butterfly's and metamorphic rock have in common?

They both undergo a complete change in appearance.Butterflies will normally start off life as a caterpillar, after eating their fill the pupate and undergo "metamorphasis", changing from a worm-like insect into a winged butterfly.In the same way metamorphic rock can be either sedimentary or ifneous in origin, normally it is then heated (or melted again) forming a new type of material. Example, sandstone (sedimentary rock) can be heated to melting point, once it hardens it has become a new type of metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock often has intrusions of the original parent material in it, making for interesting samples.
