What are the steps needed to form metamorphic rock from magma?
To form metamorphic rock from magma, first magma must intrude into existing rock layers. The heat and pressure generated by the magma will cause the surrounding rocks to recrystallize and change mineral composition, transforming into metamorphic rock. This process occurs deep within the Earth's crust and can take millions of years.
What would cause a metamorphic rock to surround magma?
The contact metamorphism process occurs when magma intrudes into surrounding rock, causing the adjacent rock to be heated and recrystallize into a metamorphic rock. The heat and pressure from the magma alter the mineral composition and texture of the surrounding rock, resulting in the creation of a metamorphic rock zone around the magma.
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 does metamorphic rock turn into magma?
Metamorphic rocks can turn into magma through the process of partial melting caused by an increase in temperature and/or pressure. As the rock is subjected to higher temperatures and pressures, minerals within the rock may start to melt, forming magma. This molten magma can then rise towards the Earth's surface and may eventually solidify to form igneous rock.
What process is involved in the formation of all igneous rock's but not the formation of metamorphic rock's?
Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. This process involves molten rock cooling and crystallizing to form solid rock. Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, form from the alteration of existing rocks due to high heat and pressure, without the presence of magma.
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms what substance?
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma.

When magma cools and hardens does it form igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
igneous rock.
How can a igneous rock form into a metamorphic rock?
The igneous rock gets pushed deeper and deeper and slowly turns into lava or magma and slowly cools into metamorphic rock.
What is metamorphic rock when melted?
magma
How can metamorphic rock become magma?
If the metamorphic rock becomes hot enough it can melt.
How could a metamorphic rock go to a igneous rock?
If a metamorphic rock were to reach the mantle and melt, it would become magma. If that magma were then to recrystallize it would be an igneous rock.
How do metamorphic rocks change into igneous rock?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock

What is formed when metamorphic rock melts?
magma
Can a metamorphic rock be formed from magma?
i don't not
What kind of rock changes to magma after melting?
metamorphic rock
