What else can I help you with?
Can any type of rock change?
Yes, because sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic and metamorphic can change into igneous rocks.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
How does an igneous rock change to metamorphic?
Meta-igneous. Metamorphism of igneous rocks can form a wide range of metamorphic rocks, depending on the mineralogy of the igneous protolith and the P-T conditions of the metamorphism.
What is Contact metamorphic?
Contact Metamorphism: When magma comes in contact with other rocks it will heat them and change them into new rocks. This often happens around an igneous intrusion.
What two types of rocks make up the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is primarily made up of two types of rocks: igneous and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma, while metamorphic rocks are rocks that have undergone a change in texture and composition due to heat and pressure.
How do igneous rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
Can you melt metamorphic rocks?
no, the process only happens to igneous rocks
Can any type of rock change?
Yes, because sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic and metamorphic can change into igneous rocks.
When igneous and sedimentary rocks change then what happened next?
they change into metamorphic rocks
How do metamorphic rocks change into igneous rock?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock

Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
How the igneous rocks change?
Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.
What can make Sedimentary Rocks and Igneous Rocks change into Metamorphic Rocks?
heat and pressure.
What happens when metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock continues to heat and eventually melts and becomes igneous rocks.
How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks by being subjected to high heat and pressure, causing recrystallization of minerals. Igneous rocks can also weather and erode to form sediment, which can then be deposited, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.
How does an igneous rock change to metamorphic?
Meta-igneous. Metamorphism of igneous rocks can form a wide range of metamorphic rocks, depending on the mineralogy of the igneous protolith and the P-T conditions of the metamorphism.
What are three types of rocks?
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
