Rocks can change from one form to another from the results of weathering and erosion, or by stresses caused by heat or pressure, either over time or suddenly. Rocks can also change by a process called mesasomatism, where the chemistry of a rock is changed by ion transfer via hot circulating fluids.
What else can I help you with?
Why can different types of igneous rock form?
Because there are different types of magma and different pathways for that magma to cool.
How could a single rock change into each of the three rock types?
A single rock can change into each of the three rock types through geological processes. First, igneous rock can form from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Over time, weathering and erosion can break down that rock into sediments, which may then compact and cement to form sedimentary rock. Finally, if sedimentary rock is subjected to high pressure and temperature, it can metamorphose into metamorphic rock, completing the rock cycle.
What are the two different types of igneaous rock how do they look different?
The two main types of igneous rock are intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive rocks form underground and have larger crystals due to slower cooling. Extrusive rocks form on the Earth's surface and have smaller crystals due to rapid cooling.
What main group of rock can be formed from rock which undergone a change?
Metamorphic rock is formed from rock that has undergone a change due to heat and pressure. This process causes the original rock to recrystallize into a new form with different physical and chemical properties. Examples include marble and slate.
What types of rock can be changed to a ingenious rock?
I think you mean igneous rock, not ingenious. Answer is none. Igneous rock can change to metamorphic rock.
Why can different types of igneous rock form?
Because there are different types of magma and different pathways for that magma to cool.
Can a rock change?
Yes, a rock can change. It's not as easy to change a rock as it is to change a marshmallow, but it can be done.
Magma can change form when?
Magma can change form when it cools and solidifies to become igneous rock. This process typically occurs underground, allowing the magma to cool slowly and crystallize into different types of igneous rocks such as granite or basalt.
How many times does rock change form one to another?
5 different ways
How could a single rock change into each of the three rock types?
A single rock can change into each of the three rock types through geological processes. First, igneous rock can form from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Over time, weathering and erosion can break down that rock into sediments, which may then compact and cement to form sedimentary rock. Finally, if sedimentary rock is subjected to high pressure and temperature, it can metamorphose into metamorphic rock, completing the rock cycle.
Can a rock change into a different rock during your lifetime?
Nothing on the surface of the Earth is permanent. Everything erodes
How does metaphoric become igneous?
Metamorphic rock can become igneous through a process called melting. When metamorphic rock is subjected to extreme heat, it can melt into magma. Once this magma cools and solidifies, it crystallizes to form igneous rock. This transformation highlights the rock cycle, where different types of rocks can change from one form to another over geological time scales.
What is a rock made up of similar material that formed the planet?
There are lots of different types of rocks that form the planets.
What are the two different types of igneaous rock how do they look different?
The two main types of igneous rock are intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive rocks form underground and have larger crystals due to slower cooling. Extrusive rocks form on the Earth's surface and have smaller crystals due to rapid cooling.
Who is correct a metamorphic rock is formed from a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock can form from an igneous rock?
A metamorphic rock can form from either a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock. When subjected to high heat and pressure, existing rocks can recrystallize and change into new types of rocks, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
What rock families can form magma if hot enough?
All the three existing rock families/types/classes (ie, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks) can form magma, if they become hot enough to melt and change to molten form.
Why cant erosion change a rock?
It can change the form of the rock, but cannot change the basic components of it.
