Rocks can become liquid when they are subjected to very high temperatures that exceed their melting point. This process is known as melting, where the solid rock transitions into a molten state. The intense heat breaks the bonds between the mineral components of the rock, allowing them to flow like a liquid.
Weathering and erosion cause the igneous rock to break apart causing sediments from it to go somewhere like a river. Than over time compaction and cementation cause it to become a sedimentary rock.
No layer is truly made of liquid rock. The mantle is sometimes, inaccurately, said to be liquid rock when it is in fact solid, albeit relatively soft. The outer core is liquid, but it consists of liquid metal, not rock.
Water-saturated soil and rock become liquid

The cause of a liquid turning into a solid is that the molecules from a liquid start to decrease because of the temperature dropping lower until the molecules are squeezed together and hold a shape.
become or cause to become incorporated into a liquid so as to form a solution
Decreasing the temperature a liquid become a solid.
This fits the description of a metamorphic rock.
It is a semi-liquid rock as the sheer amount of pressure in this area is so strong, solid lumps are still formed however they would become liquid if you allow them to expand.
Cooling a liquid turns it into a solid. I.E. Freezing water into ice, or magma cooling into rock.
Hydrogen is a gas. The only method that can cause this gas to become liquid is pressure.
A combination of increased temperature, a decrease in confining pressure or addition of volatiles can all act to cause rock to melt.
heat and pressure
They are chemically the basic same type of rock. Heat and pressure cause the rock to become more fluid as depth increases, so the solid rock (termed lithosphere) floats upon the more liquid rock of the asthenosphere.
Yes. The rock will get hot, of course, and some pieces of rock will become magma itself.
Weathering and erosion cause the igneous rock to break apart causing sediments from it to go somewhere like a river. Than over time compaction and cementation cause it to become a sedimentary rock.
lava cooling to become rock is a change of state from liquid to solid
