Granitic exposed to the effects of weathering will erode and be deposited in a still environment such as the bottom of a lake or sea. These eroded particles may undergo the process of lithification, whereby the particles are compacted and cemented together, forming a new sedimentary rock.
The weathering and erosion of granite can eventually lead to deposits of sand. The sand can accumulate and lithify into sandstone. Under conditions of heat and pressure, the sandstone can metamorphose into quartzite.
The weathering of granite ultimately produces fine grains of feldspar and quartz. Weathering occurs due to such things as frost wedging, decompression, plant root growth, and chemical dissolution from naturally acidic rainfall. When the resultant grains of feldspar and quartz are eroded by running water, moving ice, and wind, they eventually reach a point where they are deposited; often this is at a seafloor, a dune, or a lake. If covered with additional sediments, the sand grains are compacted, reducing the pore space between sand particles. Minerals precipitate out of the remaining water between particles cementing them together to form sandstone.
if it goes through melting into magma and then cooling (intrusive-ly)
Granite can be formed into a sedimentary rock but, you morons, it is an igneous rock
A piece of granite can be changed from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock, and then to a metamorphic rock as it gets buried deeper within the Earth's crust.
No, it's not a sedimentary rock, it is an igneous rock. :)
Limestone is a sedimentary rock. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock.

Yes it is possible for a sedimentary rock to be changed into a different sedimentary rock.

All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.

No rock. Any rock can turn into sedimentary rock, such as granite (igneous rock) and slate (metamorphic rock). Even sedimentary rock can turn into other sedimentary rock.
