Question

Explain the rock cycle by describing how an igneous rock can become a sedimentary rock, then a metamorphic rock, and then an igneous rock

Answer 1

An igneous rock can be formed from cooled magma. The igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is broken down by wind or water. The sedimentary rock can become metamorphic if it becomes buried in the earth, where pressure and heat would turn it into a metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock can then become an igneous rock by melting underground and turning into magma, flowing out of a volcano, and cooling.
