Which type of rock cannot become another type of rock?
Sedimentary rocks cannot become metamorphic rocks or igneous rocks directly; however, they can transform into metamorphic rocks under heat and pressure. The process of sedimentary rock formation involves the accumulation of particles and organic material, which means that while they can change forms, they cannot become igneous rocks without first being melted into magma. Thus, while sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic forms, they do not directly transition into igneous rocks.
Why is that igneous rock must always become sedimentary rock?
It doesn't have to. Most rocks exposed at the surface will erode and become sedimentary, but igneous rock that is underground can be remelted and become another igneous rock, or can become metamorphic.
What is the process called when a rock formes from other materials and changes from one kind of rock to another rock?
when a material changes from a solution into another material what is thes prosses called
When pieces of ancient redwood become squeezed together it will form what kind of rock?
Petrified
Is it true or false that rocks cannot change from one kind to another?
False. Rocks can change from one type to another through geological processes. For example, igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion, while sedimentary rocks can transform into metamorphic rocks under heat and pressure. This cycle is part of the rock cycle, which illustrates the dynamic nature of Earth's materials.
Is there one kind of rock that cannot change into another kind of rock?
No every rock is able to change into anther
When molten rock cools it become what kind of rock?
igneous rock.
What other kind of rock can sedimentary rock become?
Metamorphic
A is a fragment of one kind of rock found within another kind of rock?
xenolith
What is a fragment of one kind of rock found within another kind of a rock?
It is a xenolith.
What rock used to be another kind of rock?
A metamorphic rock used to be a different rock type, typically sedimentary.
What is a fragment of one kind of rock found within another kind of rock?
An example of a fragment of one kind of rock found within another kind of rock is xenoliths, which are pieces of pre-existing rock engulfed by magma and then incorporated into igneous rocks as they form. These fragments provide insights into the composition and history of the lithosphere.
How can you say that a rock has been evolved to another kind of rock?
You would say the rock has been metamorphized.
How long does it take for a diamond to become a sedimentary rock?
Although diamonds could become part of a formation of conglomerate, which is a sedimentary rock, diamond cannot become a rock because diamond is a mineral, whereas a rock has to be composed of two or more minerals.

When rocks melt what kind of rocks do they become?
Molten Rock when the rock is cooled the rock could form a different shape
Why is that igneous rock must always become sedimentary rock?
It doesn't have to. Most rocks exposed at the surface will erode and become sedimentary, but igneous rock that is underground can be remelted and become another igneous rock, or can become metamorphic.
