earth's interior
The energy source that drives the processes forming igneous and metamorphic rocks is primarily found within the Earth's interior. It originates from heat generated by radioactive decay in the mantle and core, which drives convection currents that bring hot molten material to the surface and causes interactions that lead to rock formation.
The main type of energy used to help convert metamorphic rocks into igneous rocks is heat. This heat can come from processes such as magma intrusion, volcanic activity, or tectonic movements, causing the metamorphic rocks to melt and recrystallize into igneous rocks.
The melting and cooling of a metamorphic rock will allow it to turn into an Igneous rock.

Metamorphic rocks gain enegry as they are melted by magma and then lose energy as they cool into igneous rocks.
The main type of energy used to convert metamorphic rocks into igneous rocks in the rock cycle is heat. The increase in temperature causes the metamorphic rocks to melt and then solidify into igneous rocks.
The melting and cooling of a metamorphic rock will allow it to turn into an Igneous rock.
