No. All rocks can become other rocks by the processes of erosion and metamorphism.
An igneous rock may become eroded into its constituent mineral grains such as quartz and feldspar, which are transported by wind and water, eventually settling to form a sedimentary rock.
An igneous rock may become buried by tectonic movement and sediment, where heat and pressure cause it to recrystallise into a metamorphic rock, and or melt and resolidify into another type of igneous rock. Also in the rock cycle it can become sediment, metamorphic rock or melt again

∙ 11y agono,it will get weathered, then squashed into sedimentery rock, then heated and squashed into metamorphic rock, it is melted into magma, the magma cools and it is igneous rock again, it is part of the rock, but it doesn't happen over night, it takes millions of years for it to become igneous rock again.

Which rock is formed from melted minerals?
A lot, but they would all be igneous rocks.
What kind of formations are created when lava cools and hardens?
Igneous Rocks are formed. Obsidian is a volcanic glass, go to wikepidiea and search "list of rocks" and it will come up with all the different igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks and what they are.
What kind of texture can a chemically formed rock have?
All sorts as all rocks have their own textures and are all formed from chemical compounds, but the primarily chemically-formed ones are the igneous rocks and associated minerals.
What rock is a volcano rock?
Volcanic rocks are extrusive igneous rocks.
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
Which rock is formed from melted minerals?
A lot, but they would all be igneous rocks.
What kind of rocks are formed in the rock cycle?
All the classes of rocks. The igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
What 2 rocks are formed from all 3 kinds of rocks?
I would say Igneous and Metamorphic rocks.

Pumice obsidian and scoria are kinds of?
These are all formed by volcanic activity. Igneous
What are the same about igneous metamorphic and sedimentary?
they are all rocks
How are igneous metaphoric and sedamentary rocks the same?
They all have minerals in them and are formed either underground by compression and cementation and If above ground heat and pressure.
What forces are in the rock cycle?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when other rocks (igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary) are weathered and eroded and their sediments are compacted and cemented together. Metamorphic rocks can be formed when heat and pressure is applied to any type of existing rock. Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools. The magma can be made up of melted rocks of any kind (sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic). The cycle repeats itself all the time and all of the rocks can come from any other kind of rock.
What kind of texture can a chemically formed rock have?
All sorts as all rocks have their own textures and are all formed from chemical compounds, but the primarily chemically-formed ones are the igneous rocks and associated minerals.
Scientists divide rocks into groups based on what?
Rocks are grouped by how they are formed. There are 3 types of rocks. Sedimentary, Metamorphic, and Igneous rock. Sedimentary rocks are made from broken down rocks, called sediment, which come from all three rocks. Metamorphic rocks come from existing rocks that are changed by heat and pressure. The Igneous rocks are formed from magma that rose up to the surface, also known as lava. When the lava cools and hardens it forms igneous rocks. That is a rock cycle.

What rock is a volcano rock?
Volcanic rocks are extrusive igneous rocks.
Where do all igneous rocks come from?
All igneous rock is the product of hardened magma from the upper mantle, except for igneous rock formed from extraterrestrial impacts.
