Sedimentary rock goes deep in the Earth and reaches magma. It then melts and becomes part of the magma. Since the newly formed magma is less dense than the surrounding rock it is lighter than the surrounding rock and it goes up and cools. It then becomes an Igneous rock.

How does igneous rock change to sedimentary?
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
True or false sedimentary rock can be formed from changes in igneous rock but idneous rock cannot be formed changes in the sedimentary rock?
False Sedimetary rocks can be formed from changes in igneous rock, and igneous rock can be from changes in sedimentary rock.
Is opal a sedimentary igneous or metamorphic rock?
igneous
The Igneous rock Sandstone can turn into which rock that can be a sedimentary rock?
Sandstone is sedimentary itself.
When a sedimentary rock melts what type of rock forms?
Sedimentary rock can be changed into igneous rock by undergoing melting and then solidification.
Can sedimentary rock be changed into igneous rock?
If it is forced back into the molten layers of the Earth, then yes, it will become 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.

What rock is igneous or sedimentary rock that has been changed by extreme pressure or heat?
Igneous or sedimentary rocks that have been transformed by heat or pressure are known as metamorphic rocks.
What processes can transform igneous rocks into sedimentary rock?
In order for an igneous rock to be changed to a sedimentary rock the rock must be weathered down into, well, some form of sediment (sand, gravel, ect.) and then have pressure applied to it to become a sedimentary rock.
What types of rock can be changed to a metamorphic?
All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.
How can a piece of granite can be changed from an igneous rock to a sedimatery rock and then to a metaphoric?

What is granite in sedimentary form?
No, it's not a sedimentary rock, it is an igneous rock. :)
How can an Igneous rock change?
An igneous rock, just like any other rock, can be changed through metamorphic, igneous, and/or sedimentary processes. When exposed to high temp. and pressure, igneous becomes metamorphic. When re-melted, it becomes igneous again. When weathered/eroded, it becomes sedimentary.
