Rocks start as igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are cooled magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks are composed of smaller particles of older sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks can actually change into metamorphic rocks because of a igneous intrusion.

Igneous rock is the beginning of the rock cycle and that is the importance of the igneous rock.

Is there a sentence with the word rock cycle?
Igneous rock can weather and become sedimentary rock . Metamorphic rock can be melted in a volcano and become igneous rock. Igneous rock and sedimentary rock can be heated and pressurized to form metamorphic rock.
How is a igneous is formed what is igneous rocks?
Igneous rock is formed through the rock cycle. The igneous rock is formed by magma and lava,then it goes through volcanic activity.
What part of the rock cycle happens after the igneous rock?
sedimentary rock
How can a igneous rocks change into a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks can change to igneous rock when it goes through the rock cycle so a sediment can move to igneous rock where there is a volcanic activity happens making the the sediment get heat and pressure that makes igneous rock.So when you do the rock cycle you can go from igneous rock to a metamorphic rock.
Do a igneous rock become a sedimentary rock in the rock cycle?
yes it erodes
What stage in the rock cycle is between metamorphic rock and igneous rock?
