When a metamorphic rock is melted and then re-solidifies it turns into

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Melting and solidification refer to the processes of an igneous rock, so when metamorphic rock undergoes these processes, it turns into an igneous rock. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation of sediment, while meteorites are extraterrestrial rocks that undergo their own unique processes. And while a metamorphic rock can undergo further metamorphism, it cannot turn into another type of metamorphic rock through melting and solidification.
