Rock on the surface surrounding the volcano will most likely not change. Rock under the surface near the magmatic intrusion that is the source of the volcano could be altered into contact metamorphic rock, altered by heat or heated fluids.

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.


How will a sedimentary rock turn into an igneous rock?

Igneous rocks are formed when rock melts in a volcano or other hot spot.


Does pumice turn to liquid when it leaves a volcano?

No, pumice does not turn into a liquid when it leaves a volcano. Pumice is a type of volcanic rock that forms from frothy lava with high gas content that solidifies quickly, resulting in its porous and lightweight structure.


Can sedimentary rock be formed to any other rock?

yes it can be buried so deep it could turn into a metamorphic rock, or it could get buried next to a volcano and be molded into an igneous rock.


What is the process to turn lava into rock?

When magma erupts from the volcano and starts to come down the sides, It slowly cools going down and turns into igneous rock.


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.


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.


Can a volcano be red?

yes. lava is red. and if lava heats up the rock alot without melting, the rock will turn bright red but will not be visible from the outside because the extreme heat will melt the rock slowly from the inside


What would happen to a metamorphic rock that was wheathered and broken down into sediments?

The sediments made of the metamorphic rock would turn into sedimentary rock.


What will happen if a sedmentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure?

It, like any rock, would turn into a Metamorphic rock.


How does a rock turn into lava?

The rock becomes too hot that it must turn into liquid form (lava). This would usually mean that the rock had to have come into contact with lava first.


How long does it take for a rock to turn into sediments?

I do not know exactly but if I were to guess, it would take about 10 days because if you turn the order around into sedimentary-> igneous it takes 10 days there too if it is in a river, or near one.
