In order to form magma what must happen to sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rocks?

In order to form magma, sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rocks must be exposed to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes the rocks to partially melt, forming molten rock called magma.


How does an Igneous rock turn into Magma?

No. If it cools as magma it will form an intrusive igneous rock. To form an extrusive igenous rock it must erupt from a volcano, where it becomes lava or pyroclastic material.


What are two processes a rock must undergo before it can become in an igneous rock?

Two processes a rock must undergo before becoming an igneous rock are melting, where the rock is heated to a point where it turns into magma, and cooling, where the magma solidifies to form an igneous rock.


What must be present for igneous and sedimentary to form into metamorphic rocks?

Pressure and heat.


What two processes labeled in the rock cycle must occur in order to change any rock into an igneous rocks?

The two processes in the rock cycle that must occur in order to change any rock into an igneous rock are melting (to form magma) and solidification (to form igneous rock). Melting of existing rocks due to high temperatures or pressure creates molten magma, which can then cool and solidify to form new igneous rocks.


What process must a sedimentary rock go through to form igneous rock?

To form igneous rock from sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must first undergo metamorphism, where it is subjected to high heat and pressure, changing its mineral composition. Subsequently, if it melts completely, it transforms into magma. When this magma cools and solidifies, either below the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rock) or after erupting as lava (extrusive igneous rock), it becomes igneous rock.


What must happen before a rock can become an igneous rock?

Before a rock can become an igneous rock, it must undergo melting to form magma. This typically occurs when rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, often in subduction zones or at mid-ocean ridges. Once the magma rises to the surface or cools underground, it solidifies to form igneous rock. The cooling process can happen rapidly, resulting in extrusive igneous rocks, or slowly, producing intrusive igneous rocks.


Which rock type must experience solidification?

Magma, or molten rock, must undergo solidification in order to form igneous rocks. This process involves cooling and hardening of the molten rock to become solid.


What process changes molten rock into igneous rock?

it has to go through melting and solidification in order to become an igneous rock.


How do sedimentary rocks becomes igneous?

Sedimentary rocks, as a rule, must first undergo a change into a metamorphic rock (a process which can take hundred of thousands to millions of years), before they may become molten from subduction processes or contact with a body of magma, whereby the magma would cool and form an igneous rock.


What event found at a transform boundary will help form igneous rocks?

Metamorphic rocks form when rocks change after undergoing extreme pressure or temperature increase. These temperature changes must be hot enough to reorganize matter within the rock but not hot enough to melt it.


How does magma turn to a igneous rock?

magma pushes its way up through cracks and may become trapped surrounded by solid rocks, the magma cools slowly it may take centuries to harden during this long time the igneous rocks form with large crystals large crystals give rocks a coarse texture hope this helps with your homework! i hate science even if I'm kinda good at it!
