The way that igneous rocks turn into sediments is when weathering accurs. The weather such as rain,and earthquakes break up the rock and turn them into a sediment. The way this happens is when the rain washes off bits of the rock and make the rock smaller until it is the of a grain of salt.This process can take over 34 years if the the rock is a big rock.
Igneous rock is rock formed from a volcanic eruption. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock (which shares some properties with igneous rock) under enough heat/pressure. If it gets deep enough, the rock melts in the mantle and may get ejected from a volcano (this process takes thousands/millions of years) as igneous rock, but it is the "volcano" bit that makes it igneous rock.
sedimentary rock forms over a long period of time. it doesn't change into sedimentary rock. it is formed when erosion takes another substance and is blown on top of the other sediment. then with a great amount of pressure it then becomes sedimentary rock.
By erosion and sedimentation
It has to go to the surface, then it is weathered into sediments, then it is eroded to somewhere else and depostied there. Then is is compacted (pushed together by pressure) and cemented (glued) together.
Sedimentary rock can be changed into metamorphic rock through exposure to heat and/or pressure.
The lake or water that the sediments are in dry's up and then the sediments get compacted so the answer would be compaction
lithification
Erosion deposits sediment.
Erosion deposits sediment.
You would bring it to the surface where the exposed sedimentary rock would be subject to weathering and erosion and the debris from these processes will be sediment once deposited again.
Yes. Sedimentary rock can weather and form the material for new sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rocks can turn back into sediment by a process of weathering and erosion.
Sedimentary rock starts as sediment.
Erosion deposits sediment.

Yes. Sedimentary rock can weather and form the material for new sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
Sedimentary rocks can turn back into sediment by a process of weathering and erosion.
Any rock type; metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous.
When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock
The rock cycle describes how rocks are formed, and how they change to sedimentary rock, to metamorphic rock, to magma, to igneous rock, to sediment, and back to sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rock starts as sediment.
Sedimentary Rock. Strata is layers of sedimentary rock that form from the deposition of sediment.
Yes! The process of weathering can "break down" a sedimentary rock and turn it back into a sediment.
