Magmatic Rock Formation and Transformation
Magmatic rocks, through erosion, sedimentation, and transport, become sediment. Sediment, through diagenesis, becomes sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock, through metamorphism, becomes metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock, through anatexis, becomes magma. Magma, through solidification, becomes magmatic rock. Sedimentary rocks can also undergo erosion, transport, and anatexis to become metamorphic rocks, which can then transform into magmatic rocks through
