In reality, every rock on Earth could be formed of ingredients from any of the three rock types: sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic. This is referred to as the rock cycle, the continuous, billions of years old process of rock recycling.
As for the direct transformation of one rock type into another due to heat and pressure, only metamorphic rock can be created this way. The metamorphism can occur to existing sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock.
Igneous rock can be eroded into sediments, Ultimately becoming Sedimentary rock. And it can also be metamorphosed by heat and pressure, becoming a Metamorphic Rock before being melted into Igneous. Sedimentary Rock can also be eroded into sediments, Ultimately becoming another Sedimentary rock. And it can also be metamorphosed by heat and pressure, becoming a Metamorphic Rock before being melted into Igneous. Metamorphic Rock can be eroded into sediments, Ultimately becoming Sedimentary rock. And it can also be metamorphosed farther by heat and pressure, becoming another type of Metamorphic Rock in the line before being melted into Igneous.
What else can I help you with?
What minerals are present in conglomerate rocks?
All different kinds, usually quartz.
Is magma the source of all rocks on earth?
No, while all rocks on Earth were molten at one point, most rock types do not form from magma. Rocks that form from magma or lava are igneous rocks. Most of the rocks at Earth's surface are sedimentary. These rocks form from the remains of rock that have been broken own into tiny pieces or dissolved in water. These components eventually settle, usually in a body of water, and are buried and turned to stone. Metamorphic rocks make up a third category. These form from rocks that have been altered under enormous heat and pressure while remaining solid.
Why are there different kinds of moons?
Moons are big rocks in space so they are not created all the same way.
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
Do all groups on the periodic table ionize?
No, the elements in all groups do not ionise. Some of the elements share electrons to form compounds.
What process do all three kinds of rocks undergo to form sediments?
They form by sediments of rocks getting squeezed together at the bottom of a lake. Some of those rocks are Conglomerate, Limestone, and Sandstone.
What two kinds of rocks are formed from all thre kind of rocks?
Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
What are the kinds of solid rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
What kinds of rocks change when they come in contact with magma?
All types of rocks.
What 2 rocks are formed from all 3 kinds of rocks?
I would say Igneous and Metamorphic rocks.
Are all rocks volcanic?
No. Rocks can be classified into three general groups: Igneous rocks, which form from molten rock Sedimentary rocks, which form from broken-down rocks turned back into stone Metamorphic rocks, which form as rocks change due to heat and pressure without melting. Igneous rocks are further divided into intrusive rocks, which cool underground, and extrusive rocks, which cool above ground. Only extrusive igneous rocks are considered volcanic.
Can metamorphic rocks form form other metamorphic rocks?
yes, all rocks can form from all others depending on pressure, etc
Do you mine copper?
yes you mine all kinds of rocks and minerals
What minerals are present in conglomerate rocks?
All different kinds, usually quartz.
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
Is this statement true or false Radon is found in all kinds of rocks everywhere.?
false
What do the three Majors rocks groups have in common?
The three major groups of rocks have several things in common. The mineral composition is the same and this is why they will all turn into each other at some point.
