Weathering and erosion cause the igneous rock to break apart causing sediments from it to go somewhere like a river. Than over time compaction and cementation cause it to become a sedimentary rock.
What else can I help you with?
How can an Igneous rock change?
An igneous rock, just like any other rock, can be changed through metamorphic, igneous, and/or sedimentary processes. When exposed to high temp. and pressure, igneous becomes metamorphic. When re-melted, it becomes igneous again. When weathered/eroded, it becomes sedimentary.

When lava cools does it become sedimentary rock?

What happens to a sedimentary rock after weathering?
I becomes sediments again or becomes igneous or metamorphic rock
What does a igneous rock have to do before it can become a sedimentary rock?
It melts then it becomes solid
How sediments can become igneous rock?
The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an igneous rock.
What happens to igneous rocks when the undergo weathering and erosion?
If eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented, it becomes clastic sedimentary rock.
Is granite is a igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
the granite melts into lava then cools becoming igneous. it erodes into sediment and then gets compressed into a sedimentary rock. the sedimentary rock becomes metamorphic with heat and pressure deep within Earth
Does an igneous rock always becomes a sedimentary rock?
No. There some very old igneous rocks to be found also it is possible for an igneous rock to become a metamorphic rock. Further, igneous rocks can not be turned into a sedimentary rocks directly. They must first be weathered and eroded and only then their detritus and remnants can be deposited as a new sedimentary deposit.
Can a sedimentary rock become an igneous rock before it becomes a metamorphic rock?
Yes, depending on where it is located
What is the name of all three rocks sedimentary igneous and?
