Does an igneous rock have to go through the sedimentary process in order to become metamorphic?
No, it doesn't.
What are four stages in the formation of sedimentary rock in chronological order?
The four stages in the formation of sedimentary rock always proceed in the same order. This order is 1. Weathering of rocks, 2. Erosion by wind and water carry the products of weathering to a new place, 3. Compaction, 4. Cementation.
What is the process sedimentary to igneous?
In order to get an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must be melted and then that melt must crystallize.
How does metamorphic rock change to sedimentary rock and then to igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock must first turn into sediment through uplift, weathering, erosion and deposition before the sediments can undergo lithification and become sedimentary rock. Further compaction, pressure, and heat can turn it into metamorphic rock. In order to change into igneous rock it would need to be buried so deep in the earth that the heat partially melts the metamorphic rock forming magma. Then the magma would need to ascend, cool, and undergo recrystallization to form igneous rock.
The correct order in which sedimentary rocks are formed is what?
Sedimentary rocks are formed through a series of processes that typically occur in the following order: first, weathering and erosion break down existing rocks into sediments. Next, these sediments are transported and deposited in layers through processes such as sedimentation. Over time, the accumulated sediments are compacted and cemented together, leading to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
What has to happen to sedimentary rock in order for it to become sediment?

What is the order that processes sedimentary rock?
The process of forming sedimentary rock begins with weathering and erosion of existing rocks. The eroded material is then transported by water, wind, or ice to a new location where it is deposited as sediment. Over time, the sediment undergoes compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rock.
What is the order of sedimentary settling?
Sorting is the degree of uniformity of grain size of a rock
Which is the correct order of the processes responsible for the formation of sedimentary rocks?
The correct order of processes for the formation of sedimentary rocks is weathering, erosion, transportation, deposition, compaction, and cementation. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, erosion transports the sediment, deposition leads to the settling of the sediment, compaction squeezes the sediment together, and cementation binds the sediment particles together to form rock.
What processes can transform igneous rocks into sedimentary rock?
In order for an igneous rock to be changed to a sedimentary rock the rock must be weathered down into, well, some form of sediment (sand, gravel, ect.) and then have pressure applied to it to become a sedimentary rock.
What happens to any rock in the rock cycle to form sedimentary rock?
In order to become a sedimentary rock a rock must be broken down or eroded by weathering. The sediments of the rock then go through the lithification process where they are cemented and compacted together forming a sedimentary rock.
Does an igneous rock have to go through the sedimentary process in order to become metamorphic?
No, it doesn't.
Is it possible for rocks to skip sedimentary in the rock cycle?
Yes, rocks can skip the sedimentary stage in the rock cycle by transforming directly from one type of rock to another through processes like metamorphism or melting and solidification. This can happen when rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures that alter their composition and characteristics without going through the sedimentary stage of being weathered, eroded, and deposited.
List in order the processes that could change one sedimentary rock into another sedimenary rock?
Lithification, burial, compaction, cementation, recrystallization, and metamorphism can change one sedimentary rock into another sedimentary rock. These processes involve the physical and chemical alteration of sediment grains through pressure, heat, and other factors.
What process needs to take place in order for ingneous rock to become sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary rock through the process of weathering and erosion, where the igneous rock is broken down into smaller pieces called sediments. These sediments are then transported and deposited in layers, where they become compacted and cemented together by pressure and time to form sedimentary rock.
What clues or characteristics do you look for i n order to identify sedimentary rocks?
== == Sedimentary rocks may exhibit strata, or layering. Sandstones will have visible sand grains. Limestones will fizz when placed in vinegar. Fossils usually only appear in sedimentary rocks. A rock made of an assortment of other rocks is usually sedimentary.
What must happen before a hypothesis become a theory?
The Hypothesis Must Be Supported In Order For It To Become A Theory
