The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an igneous rock.
What else can I help you with?
What causes rock to become sediment?
Igneous rock becomes sediment due to exposure to chemical and mechanical weathering at or near the surface.
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
Can intrusive igneous rock becomes a sedimentary rock?
Yes and No An igneous rock can not just "become" a sedimentary rock, it first has to be weathered and eroded at the surface of the Earth. The debris produced is then washed away as sediment and deposited elsewhere. This deposited sediment then gradually hardens into a new rock which is a sedimentary rock. Thus until igneous rocks are exposed in outcrop, they remain as igneous rocks.
What are two possible fates for a igneous rock?
Two of the most common fates of igneous rocks are to become sediment (and later sedimentary rocks) or to become metamorphic rocks.
What rock forms when sediment is transported and then compressed?
igneous rock
What causes rock to become sediment?
Igneous rock becomes sediment due to exposure to chemical and mechanical weathering at or near the surface.
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
What must occur for an igneous rock to become loose sediment?
erosion
How rocks become sediment?
Well, first before the sediment can become to a metamorphic rock, it has to create into a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock, Then the rocks go under the ground and is under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change.
What caused rock to become igneous?
Igneous rock becomes sediment due to exposure to chemical and mechanical weathering at or near the surface.
How can metamorphic become igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock can melt under the surface of the earth, and the harden into an Igneous rock. As an Igneous, it could crystalize, or break down into sediment where it can become either Igneous or Sedimentary.
How metamorphic rock becomes sediment?
Well, first before the sediment can become to a metamorphic rock, it has to create into a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock, Then the rocks go under the ground and is under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change.
How sediments can become igneous rock?
The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an igneous rock.
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.
What causes a metamporphic rock to become an igneous rock?
Its melting, then re-solidification.
What process can lead to igneous rock becoming sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary rock through the process of weathering and erosion, where the igneous rock breaks down into smaller pieces called sediment. These sediments are then transported by water, wind, or ice, and eventually get deposited and compacted to form sedimentary rock through the processes of lithification.
Can intrusive igneous rock becomes a sedimentary rock?
Yes and No An igneous rock can not just "become" a sedimentary rock, it first has to be weathered and eroded at the surface of the Earth. The debris produced is then washed away as sediment and deposited elsewhere. This deposited sediment then gradually hardens into a new rock which is a sedimentary rock.
