During rock cycle an igneous rock could turn into any of the three types of rock. It could undergo weathering and form sediments which results to sedimentary rocks, it could also under intense temperature and pressure without melting to form metamorphic rock and can also become part of molten magma to form igneous rock again.
What else can I help you with?
What can dolomite rock turn into?
A metamorphic or Igneous rock
Is it true the rock cycle is a process that is always occurring?
Yes, the rock cycle is a continuous process where rocks are constantly changing from one type to another over long periods of time. It involves processes such as weathering, erosion, sedimentation, metamorphism, melting, and solidification.
Is it possible that the igneous rock can be formed into sedimentary or metamorphic or sedimentary to igneous or metamorphic?
Most of it you got right. Have you ever heard of something called the rock cycle? If you have, good. If you haven't, here is a link to an excellent diagram: http://www.emporia.edu/earthsci/student/henderson1/rock_cycle.gif Anyway, if you look at the diagram, you can see how igneous rock can transform into sediment, then sedimentary rock, or bypass sedimentary rock altogether and go to metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can turn into metamorphic rock with heat and pressure. However, to turn into igneous rock from sedimentary rock, it will have to melt down into magma/lava before becoming igneous rock once again.
Why can sedimentary igneous and metamorphic rock turn into?
Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks can transform into one another through geological processes driven by heat, pressure, and time. For example, sedimentary rock can become metamorphic rock when subjected to high pressure and temperature, while igneous rock can break down into sediment that may later lithify into sedimentary rock. Additionally, metamorphic rock can melt to form magma, which can eventually cool and solidify into igneous rock. This continuous cycle is part of the rock cycle, illustrating the dynamic nature of Earth's geology.
What conditions are necessary for an igneous rock to turn into a metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure are necessary for an igneous rock to turn into a metamorphic rock. The existing minerals in the igneous rock can recrystallize under these conditions, leading to the formation of new minerals and altering the rock's texture and structure.
Which type of rocks can turn into an igneous rock through the rock cycle?
A metamorphic rock can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Or, a sedimentary rock (or sediments) can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Also, an igneous rock itself can undergo this process of melting and cooling as well.
What types of rocks can become igneous rocks?
All rocks can become igneous rocks. With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock. There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.
Does a rock go through the complete rock cycle by changing from igneous rock to sedimentary to metamorphic?
Yes, it can. However, an igneous rock can change to a metamorphic rock skipping sedimentary: the tectonic plates can push igneous rock deep into the ground, forming metamorphic rock. Sedimentary can form metamorphic, metamorphic can form magma or lava by melting and/or erupting and then turn into igneous. Igneous forms sedimentary with erosion, deposition compaction, and cementation.
How does a igneous rock turn into a igneous rock?
An igneous rock is formed when magma rises through the earth's crust and cools.
How does a metamorphic rock turn into a igneous rock?
If it finds its way dowm into the earths crust through rock cycle and then is melted and mixes together to form molten magma, it could re-erupt to the earths surface and form an extrusive igneous rock or cool and solidify within the earths crust as an intrusive igneous rock.
What can heat turn an igneous rock into?
metamorphic rock.....
What can dolomite rock turn into?
A metamorphic or Igneous rock
How does a igneous rock turn into sedimentary rock?
It melts it
How does a sedimentary rock turn into a igneous rock?
It melts it
Is it true the rock cycle is a process that is always occurring?

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.
