Igneous Rock turns into a Sedimentary Rock using Weathering and Erosion. Weathering breaks down the rock into small sediments. Erosion takes the rock and send the sediments into another location, where they are deposited and then consolidated to form a sedimentary rock.

What are the 3 type rocks?

Metamorphic, Igneous, and Sedimentary. Sedimentary is produced by river sediments compacted into hard rock by years of pressure. Igneous rock is formed by lava cooling down when it reaches the surface. Metamorphic rock comes from Igneous, Sedimentary, or other Metamorphic rocks and is defined as rock that has been changed from some other rock, called a protolith, by years of heat and pressure beneath the Earth's surface.


Can a sedimentary rock turn back into a deposit of sediment?

Yes! The process of weathering can "break down" a sedimentary rock and turn it back into a sediment.
