Can a sedimentary rock be a igneous rock when exposed to heat and pressure?
Usually it is metamorphic rocks that are formed by heat and pressure, but sedimentary rocks can too. Usually, the word 'sedimentary' means 'of sediments' which means that it is composed of lots of layers upon layers compacting down. In that case, pressure is essential, but heat isn't always needed.
How does a metamorphic rock become igneous?
by going under heat and pressure
What type of rock forms when heat and pressure change one type of rock into another?
Changes in the structure, texture, or mineralogy of existing rocks will create a metamorphic rock. Metamorphism can result from the effects of heat and/or pressure, or from the addition of ions from heated fluids. Examples of metamorphic rock are slate, schist, and gneiss.
Is milky quartz a igneous metamorphic or igneous rock?
milky quartz is either metamorphic or igneous
What process is needed for an igneous rock to turn into sedimentary rock?
Heat, erosion and pressure.
What is metamorphic rock forms from?
Metamorphic rock is formed when Igneous rock and Sedimentary rock go through intense heat and pressure.
What can an igneous rock be changed into?
An igneous rock can change into a metamorphic rock with heat or pressure.
What type of rock forms due to heating and cooling?
Sedimentary rock forms due to the accumulation and compression of sediments, while metamorphic rock forms due to the alteration of existing rock through heat and pressure. Igneous rock forms from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
What do you need for an igneous rock to form?
An igneous rock forms when molten rock cools and solidifies. This can happen beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive) or at the surface (extrusive). The key factors for igneous rock formation are heat, pressure, and time.

How can a sedimentary rock change to a igneous rock?
Heat and pressure
How can you tell that a rock is a igneous rock?
Well The Igneous Rock: When it Forms Underground the Pressure combines with Large crystals :)
How metamorphic rock can change to igneous rock?
if the igneous rock is put under heat and pressure it turns into a metamorphic
How does a metamorphic rock become igneous?
by going under heat and pressure
What is the main difference between metamorphic rocks and igneous rocks?
Igneous rock forms when molten minerals cool from a liquid into a solid. Metamorphics forms deep under earth's crust where it's really hot. Heat and pressure changes the rock's properties, eventually turning it into an metamorphic rock.
Intense heat and pressure change igneous and sedimentary rock into?
metamorphic rock
What is a metaphorpic rock?
a rock that is created by heat (not melting or it will become igneous) and pressure
