quartz
Rocks formed when older rocks are heated and or squeezed are called?
If it is squeezed and heated sufficiently to realign the minerals or form new minerals, it is called a metamorphic rock. If it is squeezed and heated enough to melt, then solidify, it would be called an igneous rock.
What happens when metamorphic rocks are heated?
When metamorphic rocks are heated, the minerals within the rock may undergo recrystallization, transforming into new minerals. This process can lead to the development of new textures and structures in the rock. However, excessive heat can cause the minerals to melt and reform as igneous rocks.
Can igneous rocks change directly into magma?
Yes, if an igneous rock is heated, it will re-melt and turn back into magma.
What type of rock forms from a melt by crystallization?
igneous rocks- rocks that are formed from melted minerals. ore-a rock that has a large amount of minerals.

Are thunder eggs sedimentary and igneous rocks?
The minerals start off as a sedimentary rock, then melt and reform into igneous rocks during volcanic activity.
When a rock gets to the core does it turn into a igneous rock?
No, first it has to melt, then erupt, and then it has to cool down. When it solidifies completely, it becomes an igneous rock.

An igneous rock is cooled magma. So first it would have to melt. From there it could become any igneous rock depending on the environment.
