The rock is eroded then the fragments from the erosion undergo sedimentary processes:

  1. Burial
  2. Compaction
  3. Cementation
  4. Lithification

Do sedimentary rocks melt and become magma?

No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.


Does sedimentary rock have to become metamorphic rock before it can become magma?

How sediments can become igneous rock?

The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an 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.


Is there a pathway through the rock cycle in which magma becomes sedimentary rock?

Yes, when igneous rock (magma) has solidified and then gets subsequently eroded, the eroded particules can get blown or washed into rivers for example, and then can form sedimentary rocks further down the chain.


How igneous rock changes to sedimentary rock?

Sedimentary rock to change to Igneous rock by applying heat and pressure , which creates Metamorphic rock . Next , Metamorphic rock turns to Magma because it melts . Lastly you have to let the Magma cool and it becomes an Igneous rock . That is how Sedimentary rock changes to Igneous rock .


Does sedimentary rock form from the cooling of magma?

No. Igneous rock forms from the cooling of magma.


Is Magma emplacement a sedimentary structure?

No, magma emplacement is not a sedimentary structure. It refers to the process of magma or molten rock moving and solidifying underground to form igneous rock bodies like plutons, dikes, or sills. Sedimentary structures are features that develop within sedimentary rocks, such as bedding, cross-bedding, or ripple marks.


Why would sedimentary rock have to become metamorphic rock before it becomes magma?

It wouldn't have to in the case of an instant melting from a meteor impact. Normally though, the evolution of a magma from sedimentary rock would include a very long process involving the gradual introduction of heat and/or pressure, causing the sedimentary rock to first metamorophose into a different type of rock.


How do sedimentary rocks becomes igneous?

Sedimentary rocks, as a rule, must first undergo a change into a metamorphic rock (a process which can take hundred of thousands to millions of years), before they may become molten from subduction processes or contact with a body of magma, whereby the magma would cool and form an igneous rock.


Which of the following is NOT a sedimentary structure Ripple marks Magma emplacement Mud cracks or Cross beds?

Magma emplacements or Batholith are not sedimentary structures.


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.
