What else can I help you with?
Igneous rock is eroded and what to the bottom of a river eventually forming what kind of rock?
Igneous rock eroded in a river will eventually form sediment, which can be compacted and cemented to become sedimentary rock. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Can any type of rock become another type of rock?
No. A similar rock could be formed, but some characteristics would be altered.
What is the last rock in the rock cycle?
The last rock in the rock cycle is metamorphic rock. This type of rock forms when existing rocks are subjected to high heat and pressure, causing them to change their mineral composition and texture. Metamorphic rocks can eventually undergo weathering and erosion to become sediment that starts the rock cycle over again.
What type of sedimentary rock is halite?
Halite is not a sedimentary rock, it is actually a mineral.
When granite melts and then solidifies it become?
It would become an igneous rock. What type of igneous rock would depend on what it mixed with while molten, and if it solidified at or under the surface.
Can sedimentary rock change into sediments?
Absolutely. And eventually they can become a part of a new sedimentary rock.
What type of rock can become sedimentary?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
What kind of rock is halite?
Halite is a type of sedimentary rock that is composed primarily of the mineral halite, which is essentially rock salt. It forms when bodies of saltwater evaporate, leaving behind salt deposits that eventually become solid halite rock.
When marine organisms die their shells eventually become what rock?
When marine organisms die, their shells can eventually become limestone rock through a process called lithification. This process involves the compaction and cementation of the shells over time, creating a solid rock formation.
What type of rock does quartz become after metaphism?
It becomes igneous rock
Can a metamorphic rock break in half then one half turns into a igneous rock and the other into a sedimentary rock?
The only way a metamorphic rock can become a sedimentary rock is if it is eroded and the pieces settle in a body of water and eventually become sedimentary rock. A whole piece of metamorphic rock is never going to become , by itself, a piece of sedimentary rock.
Igneous rock is eroded and what to the bottom of a river eventually forming what kind of rock?
Igneous rock eroded in a river will eventually form sediment, which can be compacted and cemented to become sedimentary rock. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
How does igneous rock change to metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rock which is exposed to increasing heat and pressure from various sources can eventually melt. If this melt then solidifies, it has become igneous rock.
What types of rocks can become sedimentary rock?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
The shell of oysters collect on the ocean floor. What type of rock is going to form?
Eventually they will form limestone, a sedimentary rock.
When molten rock cooled on the moon what type of rock did it become?
They become igneous rock. Anorthosite and basalt are the two primary igneous rocks on the surface of the moon.
What part do volcanooes play in the rock cycle?
Volcanoes melt the rock and eventually erupt. Once it erupted the rock starts to setal and cool into a certain type of rock
