When Sedimentary rocks melt what kind of rock is formed?
when sedimentary melts the heat squeezes the rock then it becomes a metamorphic rock.
Can igneous rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
Normally when sedimentary rocks are squashed and heated they do indeed change, they become metamorphic rocks. e.g. mud will be turned into slate - limestone into marble etc.As the metamorphic temperature and pressure increase still further, most sedimentary rocks end up as Granulites or Banded Gneisses which look very much like igneous rocks (Granites).In the extreme, sedimentary rocks can melt, and these melts will form new magmas which will eventually harden to form new igneous rocks.
How are sedimentary and metamorphic rocks similar and different?
They are both rocks. Sedimentary can contain metamorphic rocks. and vice versa.
According to the rock cycle what transitions are possible assume an unlimited number of steps?
In the rock cycle, rocks can transition between three main types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. For example, igneous rocks can weather and erode to form sediment, which can then compact and cement into sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks can be subjected to heat and pressure, transforming them into metamorphic rocks. Conversely, metamorphic rocks can melt into magma, which can cool and solidify into igneous rocks, creating a continuous cycle.
Explain how each type of rock can change into any other type of rock?
Rocks can change from one type to another through the rock cycle. Igneous rocks can transform into sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion, followed by the accumulation and lithification of sediments. Sedimentary rocks can become metamorphic rocks when subjected to high heat and pressure, altering their mineral composition and structure. Additionally, both igneous and metamorphic rocks can melt into magma, which, upon cooling, forms new igneous rocks, thus completing the cycle.
Can metamorphic rocks melt to form sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary is formed by compression. Metamorphic is created by heat and pressure. Sedimentary can be melted to create metamorphic.
Do sedimentary rocks melt and become magma?
No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.
How do rocks change from metamorphic or sedimentary rocks to igneous rocks?
Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks can change into igneous rocks through the process of melting and cooling. When subjected to intense heat and pressure, the rocks can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify, forming igneous rocks.
When Sedimentary rocks melt what kind of rock is formed?
when sedimentary melts the heat squeezes the rock then it becomes a metamorphic rock.
Which types of rocks are not metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary and Igneous rocks are not metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks however are igneous or sedimentary rocks that have undertaken metamorphism (In extreme heat and/or pressure the minerals are forced to recrystalize) and become metamorphic rocks. If the heat/pressure causes the rock to melt into liquid rock than it is no longer metamorphi, it is igneous. Hope this helps :)
What can happento a sedimentary rock once it is formed?
Sedimentary rocks can be eroded into sediments and form sedimentary rocks again, they can melt and become igneous rocks, and they can undergo extreme heat and pressure and become metamorphic rocks.
In order to form magma what must happen to sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rocks?
In order to form magma, sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rocks must be exposed to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes the rocks to partially melt, forming molten rock called magma.
Can igneous rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
Normally when sedimentary rocks are squashed and heated they do indeed change, they become metamorphic rocks. e.g. mud will be turned into slate - limestone into marble etc.As the metamorphic temperature and pressure increase still further, most sedimentary rocks end up as Granulites or Banded Gneisses which look very much like igneous rocks (Granites).In the extreme, sedimentary rocks can melt, and these melts will form new magmas which will eventually harden to form new igneous rocks.

What happens when minerals in igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rock melt?
When minerals in igneous and metamorphic rocks melt, they become magma, which can eventually solidify to form igneous rocks. In sedimentary rocks, when minerals melt, they can alter the rock's texture and composition, leading to the formation of metamorphic rocks through processes like recrystallization and metamorphism.
What are the three types of rock and their formation?
there are 4 bill bob and jerry and the one in abi's head she likes to call a brain Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.
How are sedimentary and metamorphic rocks similar and different?
They are both rocks. Sedimentary can contain metamorphic rocks. and vice versa.
