What else can I help you with?
Is sedimentary rock formed from cooling magma?
No, sedimentary rock is formed from the deposition and compression of sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. Cooling magma forms igneous rock when it solidifies.
When a sedimetary rock melts what kind of rock does it form?
When a sedimentary rock or any other rock kind melts, it becomes magma and when it sollidifies it forms an igneous rock.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
How does a sedimentary rock becomes a ingeous rock?
A sedimentary rock can become an igneous rock through the process of melting and solidification. If sedimentary rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures in the Earth's crust or mantle, they can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify to form igneous rocks.
What three major rock groups change into by natural forces?
The three major rock groups that change by natural forces are igneous rocks, which form from the cooling of magma and can be weathered into sedimentary rocks; sedimentary rocks, which can be compressed and heated to form metamorphic rocks; and metamorphic rocks, which can be melted to form magma and cool into igneous rocks.

When a sedimentary rock or any other rock kind melts, it becomes magma and when it sollidifies it forms an igneous rock.
Where can strata can be found sedimentary rock or igneous rock?
Strata can be found in sedimentary rocks, which form in layers over time as sediments accumulate and compact. Igneous rocks, which form from molten magma cooling and solidifying, do not typically have distinct layers or strata.
What is the only kind of rock that can form directly from magma?
By definition. A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, chemical, organic, or clastic. A metamorphic rock has undergone a change in mineral alignment or mineral composition due to heat and/or pressure. An igneous rock forms from solidification of magma via cooling.
What sedimentary rock turns into the igneous rock basalt?
None. Basalt is formed by the rapid cooling of mafic (silica-poor) magma. It is not formed from sedimentary rock.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
How can a sedimentary rock form into a igneous rock?
it melts into magma then cools and hardense
Is a sediment and magma rock the same?
No, sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of sediments, such as sand or mud, over time. Magma rocks, on the other hand, are igneous rocks that form from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. These two types of rocks have different origins and formation processes.
How does a sedimentary rock becomes a ingeous rock?

When magma cools and hardens does it form igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
igneous rock.
Why do rock fossils form in sedimentary rock and not in igneous rock?
because sedimentary rocks are on the top layer, while igneous rocks are were the magma is
