Igneous and metamorphic rock can be turned into sediments through weathering and erosion. For example: wind, water, and gravity.

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 are the processes that can cause igneous or metamorphic rock to turn into sedimentary rock?

The metamorphic or igneous rock would have to be weathered and eroded until it is only particulates. Those particulates must then be forced together as a layer under gravitational pressure. These particulates will then become sedimentary rocks.


How does a extrusive igneous rock turn into a metamorphic rock?

Extrusive igneous rocks can turn into metamorphic rocks through the process of regional metamorphism, where they are subjected to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This causes the mineral composition and texture of the rock to change, resulting in the formation of a new metamorphic rock.


What causes to a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock that turn into an igneous rock?

Which type of rocks can turn into an igneous rock through the rock cycle?

A metamorphic rock can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Or, a sedimentary rock (or sediments) can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Also, an igneous rock itself can undergo this process of melting and cooling as well.


Can igneous rock turn into something else?

Yes, they can turn into metamorphic rocks.


How does metamorphic rock turn into another type of rock?

Metamorphic rock can turn into another type of rock through processes like weathering and erosion, which break down the rock into sediment. This sediment can then undergo compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rock, or melt and cool to form igneous rock through processes like metamorphism.
