For a rock to become magma, it must undergo melting, which typically occurs due to increased temperature, decreased pressure, or the addition of fluids. This process often takes place in subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges, or hotspots. The composition of the rock also influences the melting point; certain minerals melt at lower temperatures than others. Once the rock melts completely, it transforms into magma, which can then rise through the Earth's crust.

In what order does magma become a rock?

Magma forms from heated rock--it cools--minerals form--when totally solidified it is a rock.


How sediments can become igneous rock?

The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an igneous rock.


What does magma become when it cools and hardens?

rock


Can the interaction between magma and surrounding rock cause changes in the rock?

Yes. The rock will get hot, of course, and some pieces of rock will become magma itself.


How does rock turns into magma?

Magma is essentially molten rock inside earth, possibly with some trapped gasses. To become rock the magma simply cools and solidifies, essentially freezing.


How does a metamorphic rock become magma?

Extreme heat.

How could a metamorphic rock go to a igneous rock?

If a metamorphic rock were to reach the mantle and melt, it would become magma. If that magma were then to recrystallize it would be an igneous rock.


How can a metomorphic rock become an igneous rock?

Metamorphic rocks underground melt to become magma. When a volcano erupts, magma flows out of it. As the lava cools it hardens and becomes igneous rock.


How can metamorphic rock become magma?

If the metamorphic rock becomes hot enough it can melt.

How does a metamorphic rock form into magma?

Metamorphic rock could become magma by collisions involving an oceanic plates. During subduction,any rock carried on the plate would return to the mantle and melt,forming magma
