Metamorphic rock is less likely to melt compared to igneous and sedimentary rocks due to its high temperature and pressure resistance. This resistance is due to the mineral composition and structure developed during the rock's formation.
Underground molten rock, called magma, does melt some of the surrounding rock.
If a rock gets hot enough, it can undergo physical and chemical changes. Depending on the temperature, rocks can melt, undergo metamorphism, or break down into different minerals. Ultimately, it will depend on the type of rock and the intensity of the heat.
igneous rocks- rocks that are formed from melted minerals. ore-a rock that has a large amount of minerals.
Igneous rocks-after having the chance to cool down after a melt (metamorphic rocks need pressure as well)
Metamorphic
That would all depend on what type of rock.
Rock salt
metamorphic
Volcanoes melt the rock and eventually erupt. Once it erupted the rock starts to setal and cool into a certain type of rock
Metamorphic rock can turn into another type of rock through processes like weathering and erosion, which break down the rock into sediment. This sediment can then undergo compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rock, or melt and cool to form igneous rock through processes like metamorphism.

Substantial heat, whether produced by humans or naturally occurring, can melt rock.
it will melt
No. Human tissue will burn rather than melt and will not form rock.
Igneous rocks can change into metamorphic rocks from great heat and pressure as all other rocks can, melt into magma, the molten rock, and erode into sediment, which are rock fragments.
