How could you explain the presence of an igneous rock in a bed of sedimentary rock?
Because igneous Rocks can become sediments through weathering and erosion so it could just be a not fully broken up igneous rock sorry not the best answer but seeing as this is a science 7 question I decided to write it simpler
What is granite in sedimentary form?
No, it's not a sedimentary rock, it is an igneous rock. :)
What is the process sedimentary to igneous?
In order to get an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must be melted and then that melt must crystallize.
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
Is limestone a igneous rock?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock.
What in no more than three sentences can you explain the rock cycle?
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.

Why does the igneous rock turn into a sedimentary rock?
becuase the igneous rock cools dowwn and turn into sedimentary rock

Is a sedimentary rock an igneous rock?
No. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are three different categories of rock.
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
How does a Sedimentary rock to an igneous rock?
The sedimentary rocks would have to melt and cool again to make an igneous rock.
Is limestone a igneous rock?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock.
Is a granite a sedimentary?
No, it's not a sedimentary rock, it is an igneous rock. :)
Is pumice igneous rock metamorphic rock or sedimentary rock?
Igneous Rock
How could you explain the presence of an igneous rock in a bed of sediments rock?
The sediment from which sedimentary rock is formed originally came from other rocks that weathered away. In some sedimentary rocks, especially breccia and conglomerate, some of those rock fragments can still be identified. If it does not appear to be part of the sediment, there are a few possible explanations depending on their relationship. If there is a layer of igneous rock between sedimentary layers then it could be from a volcanic eruption that occurred during the time of sedimentation, or a sill that intruded between layers after they formed. If the igneous rock appears to cut through the sedimentary rock then it most likely is an intrusion. If there is a piece of igneous rock that happens to be in an area where the local bedrock is sedimentary then it may have been transported there by glaciers.
