What role does weather and erosion have in the change of igneous rock to sediment?

Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation of other rocks.
Chemical sedimentary rocks however may be precipitated directly from saturated solutions (examples incldue the evaporitic rocks and certain types of carbonates such as oolitic limestones).
Some other sedimentary rocks may be biogenic in origin (such as the linmestones that are formed of coral reefs).

∙ 14y agoWeathering and erosion can lead to the deposition, compaction, cementation of sedimentary particles , or precipitation of minerals over time, which leads to the formation of sedimentary rock. Weathering and erosion are not causes of sedimentary rock formation, but processes which can lead to sedimentary rock formation.

What types of rocks can become igneous rocks?
All rocks can become igneous rocks. With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock. There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.
What process helps change metamorphic and igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Weathing and erosion.
What processes help change metamorphic and igneous rock to sedimentary rocks?
Denudation, Weathering, Erosion, Diagnesis.
How does igneous rock change to sedimentary?
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
What rock changes?
Everything. There is so many ways to change rocks. Erosion by Wind and Water. Earthquakes/Plate Tectonics, Subduction leading to metamorphism and ultimately melting and becoming Igneous. Man.
What process can change igneous rock into sediment?
erosion/weathering
What happens to sediment as it change to sedimentary rock?
Erosion deposits sediment.
What geologic process can change any type of rock into sediment?
Weathering and erosion
How does the igneous rock change into sedimentary rock?
Weathering and erosion.
What forces cause igneous rock to change to Sedimentary rock?
erosion,deposition,cementation,compaction,weathering
How can an igneous or metamorphic rock change into a seditmentary rock?
Weathering and erosion.
What 2 processes can change igneous and metamorphic rock into sediments?
Erosion
What starts the change from a igneous rock to a sedimentary rock?
Weathering and erosion.
What process can change igneous and metamorphic rocks into sediments?
Weathering and erosion.
What geologic process can change any rock into sediment?
weathering, erosion, and compaction.
How can erosion affect the shape of a sediment?
It can affect the shape of sediment because it is scraping very slowly against it causing it to change,
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.
