Is there any kind of rock that cannot become another rock?

No.


Why is that igneous rock must always become sedimentary rock?

It doesn't have to. Most rocks exposed at the surface will erode and become sedimentary, but igneous rock that is underground can be remelted and become another igneous rock, or can become metamorphic.


How might a sedimentary rock become another sedimentary rock without first changing into another rock type?

A sedimentary rock can become another sedimentary rock through the process of diagenesis. This involves the compaction and cementation of existing sedimentary rocks to form a new rock without going through a different rock type. This can happen through the addition of more sediment layers or changes in environmental conditions.


How can a metamorphic rock change into another rock?

Yes. A metamorphic rock can be metamorphosed into a higher-grade metamorphic rock. It can be weather into sediment and re-lithified into a sedimentary rock, or it can melt then solidify to become an igneous rock.


Why are dykes important?

Dykes or Dike is a sheet of rock that forms in a crack of another rock. Then this crack begins to layers it is called a sill and will become crystallized.


How many levels with the king's rock does it take for slowpoke to become slowbro in heartgold from level 21?

Slowpoke evolves to Slowbro at level 37, and then must be traded to another trainer with King's Rock to become a Slowking. King's Rock is not necessary for making a Slowbro.


Can any type of rock become another type of rock?

No. A similar rock could be formed, but some characteristics would be altered.


How can an igneous rock become a metamorphic?

A metamorphic rock can become a igneous rock by melting and cooling


What type of metamorphism forms foliate rocks?

Any rock can undergo metamorphism, be it sedimentary, igneous or even the transformation of one type of metamorphic rock to another.


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.


Are metamorphic rocks only from igneous rocks?

no any type of rock can become any other or another form of itself.


How can sedimentary rock form another rock?

Sedimentary rock can form another rock by being tossed and thrown into the water it takes about maybe 10 years for Sedimentary rock to form another rock.
