No. Volcanic rocks are igneous (although not all igneous rocks are volcanic). Sedimentary rocks are made of sediment naturally cemented together. However, volcanic (or extrusive igneous) rocks can be eroded into sediment, which can be cemented, compacted, or otherwise become sedimentary rock such as sandstone or conglomerate. It is then not considered igneous.

What kind of rock is Cappadocia?
A mixture of volcanic and sedimentary rocks -AlanKeo
Is volcanic rock older than sedimentary rock?
Not necessarily. There are volcanic rocks that date back to the precambrian time, much older than most sedimentary rocks around today. At the same time, as there is still continuous volcanic activity on earth, some volcanic rocks may be only minutes old, making them the youngest rocks on earth.
What is Supracrustal rocks?
Supracrustal rocks are sedimentary, volcanic, and metamorphic rocks that formed above the Earth's crust and have been displaced by tectonic processes. These rocks typically contain evidence of their origin in the form of sedimentary layers, volcanic structures, and metamorphic textures. Supracrustal rocks are often found near the edges of continents or in areas where tectonic activity has pushed them to the surface.
Are pyroclastic rocks considered sedimentary?
Sometimes Pyroclastics are rocks formed from the cooling and solidification of material ejected during explosive volcanic eruptions, and are so primarily igneous. However, this material is often transported an redeposited by processes not directly related to volcanism. When this occurs, the resulting material may be considered sedimentary. Rocks that form from this transported volcanic material are called volcaniclastic rocks.
Is sandstone volcanic?
No, sandstone is not volcanic. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that is formed from the compacted sand grains, while volcanic rocks are formed from solidified magma or lava that has cooled and solidified.
How do you change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rocks could become metamorphic rocks if they are exposed to extreme heat and pressure deep in the Earth's crust. The rocks could come to the surface by volcanic activity or rising magma.
What way is not a way of sedimentary rock forms?
Sedimentary rocks do not form through volcanic activity, which is associated with igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks are typically formed through processes like erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.
What rocks are in Mexico?
Mexico has a diverse range of rocks, including obsidian, onyx, and travertine. In addition, Mexico has many volcanic rocks due to its high level of volcanic activity, such as basalt and andesite. The country also has a variety of sedimentary rocks like limestone and sandstone.
What is most likely to produce a fragmental sedimentary rock?
Volcanic eruptions are most likely to produce fragmental sedimentary rocks due to the rapid cooling and subsequent deposition of ejected volcanic material, such as ash, lava fragments, and rocks. These materials can accumulate, compact, and cement together to form rocks like tuff or volcanic breccia.
Are thunder eggs sedimentary and igneous rocks?
Thunder eggs are technically both sedimentary and igneous rocks. They are formed when gas bubbles in volcanic lava solidify and are later filled with various minerals, such as quartz. So, they have characteristics of both sedimentary (formed through deposition) and igneous (formed through cooling of magma or lava) rocks.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
