How can a igneous rocks change into a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks can change to igneous rock when it goes through the rock cycle so a sediment can move to igneous rock where there is a volcanic activity happens making the the sediment get heat and pressure that makes igneous rock.So when you do the rock cycle you can go from igneous rock to a metamorphic rock.
What are two possible fates for a igneous rock?
Two of the most common fates of igneous rocks are to become sediment (and later sedimentary rocks) or to become metamorphic rocks.
Is the earths crust made of sediment?
Partially. However, a significant portion of it is also composed of igneous intrusions and metamorphosed sedimentary and igneous rocks.
Why are igneous rocks impermeable?
because of the rocks structure and weight. this makes it.
Can igneous rock be weathered to form sediment?
Yes. Any rock can be weathered to form sediment.
Are volcanic rocks sedimentary?
No. Volcanic rocks are igneous (although not all igneous rocks are volcanic). Sedimentary rocks are made of sediment naturally cemented together. However, volcanic (or extrusive igneous) rocks can be eroded into sediment, which can be cemented, compacted, or otherwise become sedimentary rock such as sandstone or conglomerate. It is then not considered igneous.

In the rock cycle what is formed when igneous rocks weather?
Sediment
One of two ways that sedimentary and igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks?
sediment
What process can lead to igneous rock becoming sedimentary rock?
When igneous rocks are crushed and compacted into sediment
What are two possible fates for a igneous rock?

Can sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
By them being boroken down (sediment) then exposed to great pressure.
Where sediment come from?
Sediments come from the erosion of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
What is a sentence with igneous sedimentary and metamorphic?
Igneous, sedimentaty and metamorphic are all types of rocks. You would just write sentences to describe each, like "Igneous rocks come from volcanoes" and "Sedimentary rocks come from sediment."
How can metamorphic and igneous rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
By them being boroken down (sediment) then exposed to great pressure.
How can igneous and metamorphic rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
By them being boroken down (sediment) then exposed to great pressure.
Why aren't you likely to find a fossil in metamorphic or igneous rocks?
the fossils would be turned into another rock if it was in a metamorphic rock or igneous rocks. it requires a blanket of sediment
