LaoThe conditions needed to change igneous or sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks are high pressure, high temperature, and/or chemically active fluids. These conditions cause the minerals in the original rocks to recrystallize and realign, forming new minerals and textures characteristic of metamorphic rocks.

Can any type of rock change?
Yes, because sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic and metamorphic can change into igneous rocks.
What type of rocks change into igneous rock?
I know one of them...Sedimentary hope i helped... =) All 3 are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
What condition change igneous sedimentary to metamorphic rock?
The conditions that change igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock include high temperature, high pressure, and the presence of chemically active fluids. These conditions cause the minerals in the original rock to recrystallize, forming new minerals and textures characteristic of metamorphic rocks.
How can igneous rock change?
An igneous rock, just like any other rock, can be changed through metamorphic, igneous, and/or sedimentary processes. When exposed to high temp. and pressure, igneous becomes metamorphic. When re-melted, it becomes igneous again. When weathered/eroded, it becomes sedimentary.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
