How does sedimentary rock turn into lava?
Sedimentary rock can transform into lava through a process called melting. When sedimentary rock is subjected to extreme heat and pressure, typically deep within the Earth's crust or mantle, it can melt and become magma. If this magma rises to the surface and erupts, it is expelled as lava. However, this transformation is less direct than the metamorphic processes; sedimentary rocks typically undergo significant changes before melting occurs.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
When lava cools does it become sedimentary rock?
No. It becomes igneous rock.
When lava cools down does it turn into coal?
No, coal is not an igneous rock at all. Coal is made from sedimentary rock that is squeezed under the ground by great 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 can a metamorphic rock turn into sedimentary rock and then back to metamorphic?
metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......
Why are fossils found mostly in a sedimentary rock?
Because when the lava killed the animals, their remains stayed in the lava and dried to become sedimentary rock.
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.
Where does sedimentary rock came from?
from volcanoes lava
Is sedimentary rock formed by lava?
no that is igneus
Is lava a sedimentary rock?
No, lava is not a sedimentary rock. Lava is molten rock that erupts onto Earth's surface from a volcano, and when it cools and solidifies, it forms an igneous rock called basalt or rhyolite. Sedimentary rocks are formed through the accumulation and consolidation of sediments, not from volcanic activity.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
When lava cools does it become sedimentary rock?
No. It becomes igneous rock.
When lava cools down does it turn into coal?
No, coal is not an igneous rock at all. Coal is made from sedimentary rock that is squeezed under the ground by great pressure.
How does a vein enter a rock?
Liquid rock (magma, lava) condenses around a per-existing thing - OR sediments turn into sedimentary stone around an object.
What type of rock may sedimentary rock turn into?
Metamorphic or new sedimentary rock.
The Igneous rock Sandstone can turn into which rock that can be a sedimentary rock?
Sandstone is sedimentary itself.
