It's impossible to say what specific igneous rock the rock marble may become after it is melted and becomes mixed with other molten rock before solidification into an igneous rock. It would most certainly have none of the characteristics of the original marble.

Why can intrusive igneous igneous rocks be left behind when surrounding rocks are worn away?

because it is made by heat and intence crushing and dimonds and marble are both made this way.

Igneous rock is classified as extrusive or intrusive.


Is a marble rock ultramafic?

No. Mafic, felsic, and related terms apply to silicate igneous rocks. Marble is composed of carbonates, so such terms do not apply.

Sedimentary rocks (such as sandstone and limestone), igneous rocks (such as granite and basalt), and metamorphic rocks (such as marble) are all used in masonry.


Can igneous rock turn into something else?

Yes, they can turn into metamorphic rocks.


What types of rocks can become igneous rocks?

All rocks can become igneous rocks. With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock. There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.


What is the major difference between igneous and metamorphic rocks?

igneous rocks started as melted lava and cooled to be rocks. Metamorphic rock started as a sedimentary rock, and was heated up and put under pressure to create the metamorphic rock. Classic example - igneous = obsidian. Metamorphic = marble (marble is limestone that's been heated and squeezed a lot).


What are examples of igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?

Igneous: * Obsidian * Granite * Diorite * Gabbro * Pumice * Basalt Metamorphic: * Slate * Phyllite * Gneiss * Mica schist * Marble * Quartzite * Granulite Sedimentary: * Limestone * Sandstone * Shale * Chert * Mudstone * Chalk


What are intermediate materials in a rock cycle?

Intermediate materials in the rock cycle include sedimentary rocks like sandstone and shale, which are formed through the deposition and compaction of sediments. These rocks can undergo metamorphism to form metamorphic rocks like marble and schist. Metamorphic rocks, in turn, can melt to form magma that solidifies into igneous rocks like granite and basalt.
