no lava is a liquid that when cooled forms extrusive igneous rock

Metamorphic rock is something that has been "metamorphosed" usually by being shoved down into the high temperatures and pressures inside the earth by tectonic plate movement. Sandstone (soft) can become granite (hard) in this way.

How does sedimentary rock turn to lava?

Sedimentary rock does not directly turn into lava. Instead, when sedimentary rock is subjected to extreme heat and pressure, it can undergo metamorphism, potentially transforming into metamorphic rock. If this metamorphic rock is further subjected to even higher temperatures, it can melt and become magma. When magma erupts to the surface, it is called lava.


When is a igneous rock change into a metamorphic rock?

Metamorphic rocks are made by heat and pressure, and assuming this isn't a grown person, you SHOULD know that igneous rocks are formed by lava or magma that hardens, so it is when a metamorphic rock is melted, and then hardens. This creates igneous rock.


When metamorphic rock changes to magma the magma rises and cools to become?

A metamorphic rock is formed by the elements, minor heat, and compression. When the metamorphic rock is melted by magma, this would indicate that the metamorphic rock is under the surface of the earth. If it rises and cools again you will have an extrusive igneous rock. In a lot of cases, this is metamorphic rock on the surface under the influence of lava. This would change the composition and it would not longer be metamorphic, but rather igneous.


When metamorphic rock melts it turns into lava is conserved?

When metamorphic rock melts, it turns into magma, not lava. Magma is molten rock located beneath the Earth's surface, while lava is magma that reaches the surface during a volcanic eruption. The transformation involves the complete melting of minerals in the rock due to increased temperature and pressure. When the magma eventually erupts and cools, it can solidify into igneous rock.

When metamorphic rock melts turns into?

Metamorphic rock that melts turns to magma. This only becomes lava if it is erupted to the surface in a volcano.


Is metamorphic rock a cooled lava?

No. Cooled lava would be igneous.

What metamorphic rock melts and turns into lava?

Basalt is a common metamorphic rock that can melt and transform into lava when exposed to high temperatures. Basalt is formed from the solidification of lava, so it can melt when subjected to the same conditions.


How can a igneous rock form into a metamorphic rock?

The igneous rock gets pushed deeper and deeper and slowly turns into lava or magma and slowly cools into metamorphic rock.
