Detailed explanation-1: -If a sedimentary rock is subjected to intense heat it will melt. Once it rises up and cools down, it will form an igneous rock.
Detailed explanation-2: -Igneous rocks are formed from melted rock deep inside the Earth. Sedimentary rocks are formed from layers of sand, silt, dead plants, and animal skeletons. Metamorphic rocks formed from other rocks that are changed by heat and pressure underground.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are three general types of rocks, those that form from melt (igneous rocks), those that are deposited from air or water (sedimentary rocks), and those that have formed by “cooking” or otherwise altering another rock (metamorphic rocks).
Detailed explanation-4: -Igneous rocks form when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies. Sedimentary rocks originate when particles settle out of water or air, or by precipitation of minerals from water.
Detailed explanation-5: -If there is too much heat or pressure, the rock will melt and become magma. This will result in the formation of an igneous rock, not a metamorphic rock. Consider how granite changes form.
