There are three major types of rocks: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. Rocks are classified based on the process by which they were formed. Sedimentary rocks form from sand, dust, and tiny rock particles that are fused by water and extreme pressure over time. Igneous rocks form from cooled magma or lava; depending on how fast they were cooled and solidified, igneous rocks may or may not go through crystallization. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that changed from either sedimentary rocks, igneous ones, or other metamorphic rocks. These generally form from wind, water, or chemical erosion.
Sedimentary rocks can change to igneous rock when it goes through the rock cycle so a sediment can move to igneous rock where there is a volcanic activity happens making the the sediment get heat and pressure that makes igneous rock.So when you do the rock cycle you can go from igneous rock to a metamorphic rock.
Yes, all rocks can go through the rock cycle. The rock cycle involves the transformation of rocks from one type to another through processes like weathering, erosion, deposition, and heat and pressure. Rocks can change from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic forms and back again through different stages of the rock cycle.
Yes, a rock can go through the rock cycle multiple times. Rocks can be weathered, eroded, and transformed into sedimentary rocks; then, with additional heat and pressure, they can be converted into metamorphic rocks; and eventually, they can be melted and recrystallized into igneous rocks, completing the cycle.
there are several ways such as heat & pressure, melting, chemical weathering, compression, compaction & cementation, but it depends on the kind of rock it is for what process it has to go through. -Cutegirl99
yes it can...this is true
lava and/or magma cools and forms igneous rocks. igneous rocks go through weather and erosion which forms sediments. these sediments are collected and compacted. this causes sedimentary rocks. the sedimentary rocks go through weather and erosion as well as being exposed to heat and pressure. this causes metamorphic rocks. metamorphic rocks go through heat and pressure and then they melt and become lava or magma again. this is called the rock cycle.

Igneous Rocks are formed. Obsidian is a volcanic glass, go to wikepidiea and search "list of rocks" and it will come up with all the different igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks and what they are.
Metamorphic rocks are formed from igneous, sedimentary and older metamorphic rocks that are introduced to extreme temperature and pressure. Because of the extreme temperature and pressure, rocks go through a significant chemical or physical change, turing them into metamorphic rocks.
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.
Metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed by Lithification. Metamorphic rocks texture depends on how much eat and pressure was exerted on it. Sedimentary rocks texture is usually fine grained. Not much i could find on compare.
Yes, all rocks on Earth go through the rock cycle. The rock cycle is a continuous process of rock formation, transformation, and recycling, where rocks transition from one type to another over time through processes such as weathering, erosion, and cooling and solidification.
