What else can I help you with?
What provides the heat that drives the formation of igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Earths hot interior
Is the earths crust made of sediment?
Partially. However, a significant portion of it is also composed of igneous intrusions and metamorphosed sedimentary and igneous rocks.
How do metamorphic rocks change to igneous?
A metamorphic rock is a rock that has changed form through heat and pressure so a igneous rock (made from molten material from the earth that has solidified) would change to metamorphic rock through heat and pressure.
Which igneous rock is dark colored cooled rapidly on earths surface and is composed mainly of plagioclase feldspar olivine and pyroxene?
scoria
How do metamorphic rocks turn into igneous rocks?
metamorphic rocks are heated and pressured so soon they are being melted turning into magma. But volcanic activity can also release lava which would cool and harden either in crack inside the volcano or on earths surface.
What does the earths crust have?
it is composed of igneous sedimentry and metamorphic
What is in the formation of igneous rocks but not in formation of metamorphic rocks?
igneous rocks form within earths surface
Is most of the earths crust made up of a mix of metamorphic and igneous rock?
This is true!
What provides the heat that drives the formation of igneous and metamorphic rock?
Earths hot interior
What provides the heat that drives the formation of igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Earths hot interior
How does a metamorphic rock becomes an igneous rock?
If a metamorphic rock is buried deeply in the earths' crust it comes under great pressures and temperatures. If these are great enough to re-melt the rock it ceases to be metamorphic and when it cools, it re-crystallizes into an igneous rock.
What type of rocks make up the earths crust?
The Earth's crust is primarily made up of igneous rocks such as basalt and granite, as well as sedimentary rocks like sandstone and limestone. Metamorphic rocks, which are formed from other rock types through heat and pressure, are also found in the Earth's crust.
How does a metamorphic rock turn into a igneous rock?
If it finds its way dowm into the earths crust through rock cycle and then is melted and mixes together to form molten magma, it could re-erupt to the earths surface and form an extrusive igneous rock or cool and solidify within the earths crust as an intrusive igneous rock.

Basic material of the Earth's crust?
The basic materials of the earths crust are; silicate rocks, primary granite, igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.
