Rock that formed from other weathered rock is?
sedimentary
What happens after a metamorphic rock is formed?
After a metamorphic rock is formed, it may undergo further changes due to tectonic activity, erosion, or exposure to new conditions. It can also be uplifted to the Earth's surface through geological processes and may eventually be weathered and eroded to form sediments that can be transformed into new rocks.
What three major rock groups change into by natural forces?
The three major rock groups that change by natural forces are igneous rocks, which form from the cooling of magma and can be weathered into sedimentary rocks; sedimentary rocks, which can be compressed and heated to form metamorphic rocks; and metamorphic rocks, which can be melted to form magma and cool into igneous rocks.
What is the name for molten rock when its under the ground?
Molten rock under the surface is called "magma". When magma reaches the surface it is called "lava".
Which rocks are formed from a hot magma?
igneous rock
What type of rock is weathered at the earths surface to begin the cycle?
Any type of rock can be weathered. However, as the Earth started off in a molten state, the first rocks to be weathered must have been formed from magma and were therefore igneous rocks.
Do sedimentary rock form from crystals solidifying from magma?
No. Those are igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks from from the acummulation and lithification of weathered material.
What are two things that cold happen to a metamorphic rock to continue the rock cycle?
It could be weathered forming sediments, or it could be subducted at a plate margin, melt and form magma.
What are things that erode weathered rock?
things that erode weathered rock
What happens to a old rusty piece of granite?
It gets weathered into sediment or it could be subjected to heat and pressure and become a metamorphic rock, or it could melt into magma and cool into an igneous rock.
What type of sedimentary rock forms from weathered particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from weathered rock.
Why is magma not often made of sedimentary rock?
because magma are molten materials which exist below the solid rock of the earth's crust .we sedimentary rocks are formed by the result of deposition or accumulation and lithification of sediments of some weathered particles and other different materials therefore magma not often made because they don't contain fossils
Are there two pathways through the rock cycle in which magma becomes sedimentary rock?
Yes, there are two pathways in the rock cycle through which magma can transform into sedimentary rock. The first pathway involves magma cooling and solidifying into igneous rock, which can then be weathered and eroded into sediments that are transported and eventually lithified into sedimentary rock. The second pathway involves the direct alteration of magma through processes like hydrothermal activity, which can lead to the formation of mineral deposits that, over time, may contribute to sedimentary rock formation through erosion and deposition.
How does a weathered rock look different from a rock that is not weathered?
A weathered rock is usually smooth and broken down from erosion over time. A rock that is not weathered is usually rough, with jagged edges. NB: A lot depends on the type of rock.
What are examples of Weathered rock?
Some examples of weathered rock inculde the Grand Canyon and Devil's tower.
What does an igneous rock turn into?
There is no specific anser for that but it can melt and turn into magma again or have heat and pressure to turn into metamorphic rock or it can have been weathered and erosioned on to turn into Sediments see no specific answer
Which is stronger weathered rock or unweathered rock?
Unweathered rock.
