That is not directly possible.

First, the lava would have to cool forming a 'lava' type rock. The type depends on the contents of the magma.

Next, the rock would need to be eroded by wind and/or water. This process takes thousands to millions of years depending on the rock.

Finally, the silt created by erosion would need to find its way to the bottom of a very deep body of water where it can be compressed into sedimentary rock.

What causes rock to become sediment?

Igneous rock becomes sediment due to exposure to chemical and mechanical weathering at or near the surface.


If Ice is to water than Rock is to?

Lava or Magma is rock in its molten state.


Is sedimentary rock formed from cooling magma?

No, sedimentary rock is formed from the deposition and compression of sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. Cooling magma forms igneous rock when it solidifies.


What is the relationship between plate tectonics and the Rock cycle?

Volcanoes tend to form where plates collide. They are the mechanisms by which magma reaches the surface of the Earth; magma may also flow to Earth's surface between the moving plates at a divergent boundary. Called lava on Earth's surface, it cools and forms igneous rock. Igneous rock is a type of rock in the rock cycle. Through weathering, igneous rocks can become sediment, which eventually can become sedimentary rock. This sedimentary rock, or the original igneous rock, can also become metamorphic rock when exposed to heat and pressure beneath Earth's surface. Metamorphic rocks in turn melt and become magma. This magma plus additional magma from theEarth's interior begin the cycle again.


How does metamorphic rock transform to sediment?

metamorphic rocks get compacted and cemented together until it becomes sedimentary rocks. they can also get crystallized underwater into sedimentary rock. hope you find this helpful!!! :)when a rock is put under a lot of heat and pressure it morphs into a sedimentary rock.

How sediments can become igneous rock?

The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an igneous rock.

What must happen to rock that formed inside earth before it can become sediment?

It must weather and erode, forming sediment that can eventually lithify into sedimentary rock.

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 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.


Is sedimentary rock formed from cooling magma?

No, sedimentary rock is formed from the deposition and compression of sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. Cooling magma forms igneous rock when it solidifies.


How can you tell if it is an igneous rock?

It will be in a volcanic or sediment rock.

In what order does magma become a rock?

Magma forms from heated rock--it cools--minerals form--when totally solidified it is a rock.
