What else can I help you with?
What process is needed for an igneous rock to turn into sedimentary rock?
Heat, erosion and pressure.
Is it possible that the igneous rock can be formed into sedimentary or metamorphic or sedimentary to igneous or metamorphic?
Most of it you got right. Have you ever heard of something called the rock cycle? If you have, good. If you haven't, here is a link to an excellent diagram: http://www.emporia.edu/earthsci/student/henderson1/rock_cycle.gif Anyway, if you look at the diagram, you can see how igneous rock can transform into sediment, then sedimentary rock, or bypass sedimentary rock altogether and go to metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can turn into metamorphic rock with heat and pressure. However, to turn into igneous rock from sedimentary rock, it will have to melt down into magma/lava before becoming igneous rock once again.
How does an Igneous rock turn into Magma?
No. If it cools as magma it will form an intrusive igneous rock. To form an extrusive igenous rock it must erupt from a volcano, where it becomes lava or pyroclastic material.
Which igneous rock turns into shale?
Igneous rocks do not directly turn into shale. Shale is a sedimentary rock that forms from the compaction and cementation of fine-grained mud and clay particles. Igneous rocks can weather and erode to form sediment that eventually becomes shale through the process of lithification.
Which came first sedimentary igneous metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rock would probably have been the first rock type formed after the initial formation of the first igneous rock. Sedimentary rock formation relies on weathering and erosion, whereas metamorphic rock can be created by heat and pressure. It's likely that rock was metamorphosed before weathering existed .
Can a sedimentary rock be directly transformed into a igneous rock?
Yes, by heat and pressure. It could turn into two types of igneous rocks: intrusive and extrusive. An intrusive igneous rock is formed by heat from a volcano. It is cooled slowly, and has big crystals. An extrusive igneous rock is formed outside a volcano. It cools slowly and has small/ not visible crystals. So basically, if the sedimentary rock gets into a volcano, it can turn into an igneous rock. Hope that answered your question.
How does a igneous rock turn into sedimentary rock?
It melts it
How does a sedimentary rock turn into a igneous rock?
It melts it
The Igneous rock Sandstone can turn into which rock that can be a sedimentary rock?
Sandstone is sedimentary itself.
What type of rocks cannot turn into sedimentary rocks?
No rock. Any rock can turn into sedimentary rock, such as granite (igneous rock) and slate (metamorphic rock). Even sedimentary rock can turn into other sedimentary rock.
What causes to a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock that turn into an igneous rock?
Melting.
Can igneous rock and sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock turn into magma?
no it can't
How does igneous rock change to sedimentary?
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
Can an metamorphic rock turn into either a igneous or a sedimentary rock?
yes. it can turn into either one
How will a sedimentary rock turn into an igneous rock?
Igneous rocks are formed when rock melts in a volcano or other hot spot.
Is breccia a sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rock?
Yes. In the rock cycle, any sedimentary rock can be transformed into a metamorphic rock due to deep burial where the rock is changed by the earth's high temperature and pressure, an exposure to a plutonic intrusion, where rocks such as granite are formed, or any other process where heat and pressure alter the composition, appearance, and classification of a rock. An igneous rock can turn into a metamorphic rock or a sedimentary rock. A metamorphic rock can turn into an igneous rock or a sedimentary rock, and a sedimentary rock can turn into an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock.
How do magma turn into extrusive igneous rock?
Lava can turn into igneous rock in 2 ways. When the lava cools to a hardening point inside the volcano it is called intrusive igneous rock. When lava cools outside of the volcano it is called extrusive igneous rock.
