Is it possible that the igneous rock can be formed into sedimentary or metamorphic or sedimentary to igneous or metamorphic?
Most of it you got right. Have you ever heard of something called the rock cycle? If you have, good. If you haven't, here is a link to an excellent diagram: http://www.emporia.edu/earthsci/student/henderson1/rock_cycle.gif Anyway, if you look at the diagram, you can see how igneous rock can transform into sediment, then sedimentary rock, or bypass sedimentary rock altogether and go to metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can turn into metamorphic rock with heat and pressure. However, to turn into igneous rock from sedimentary rock, it will have to melt down into magma/lava before becoming igneous rock once again.
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.
Does an igneous rock have to go through the sedimentary process in order to become metamorphic?
No, it doesn't.
Is it true the rock cycle is a process that is always occurring?
Its false because the rock cycle may go anyway a sedimentary rocks may turn into a metamorphic or igneous rock a igneous rock may turn Into sedimentary or metamorphic and so on
How does an igneous become sedimentary?
Weathering and erosion cause the igneous rock to break apart causing sediments from it to go somewhere like a river. Than over time compaction and cementation cause it to become a sedimentary rock.
Does a rock go through the complete rock cycle by changing from igneous rock to sedimentary to metamorphic?
Yes, it can. However, an igneous rock can change to a metamorphic rock skipping sedimentary: the tectonic plates can push igneous rock deep into the ground, forming metamorphic rock. Sedimentary can form metamorphic, metamorphic can form magma or lava by melting and/or erupting and then turn into igneous. Igneous forms sedimentary with erosion, deposition compaction, and cementation.
What process did iron ore go through to be a sedimentary rock?
Orginally an igneous rock and then became secondary metamorphic rock and now sedimentary rock.

Is it possible for rocks to skip sedimentary in the rock cycle?
Yes a rock can change from metamorphic to igneous back to metamorphic the rock cycle does not go in order unless magma cools into igneous and sediment changes into sedimentary rock
What type of rock can turn into sedimentary rock?
Any rock type; metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous.
Does an igneous rock have to go through the sedimentary process in order to become metamorphic?
No, it doesn't.
What is metamorphic rock forms from?
Metamorphic rock is formed when Igneous rock and Sedimentary rock go through intense heat and pressure.
What types of rocks can turn into sedimentary rocks?
the type of rock that change into sedimentary rock is igneous rock.it under go weathering to form sediments,sediments under go lithification to Ford sedimentary rocks
Is it true the rock cycle is a process that is always occurring?
Its false because the rock cycle may go anyway a sedimentary rocks may turn into a metamorphic or igneous rock a igneous rock may turn Into sedimentary or metamorphic and so on
