Is burial of sediment which makes the igneous rocks?
Burial of sediment does not make igneous rock.
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
What rock forms when sediment is transported and then compressed?
igneous rock
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 process can change igneous rock into sediment?
erosion/weathering

igneous rock
How does a igneous rock become a sedimentary rock?
The igneous rock gets weathered into sediment by wind, water, and ices. The sediment is deposited in a basin and buried. The pressure of burial and the heat inside Earth turns that sediment into stone.
What process can lead to igneous rock becoming sedimentary rock?
When igneous rocks are crushed and compacted into sediment

What process will turn an igneous rock into a sediment?
Erosion
How can you tell if it is an igneous rock?
It will be in a volcanic or sediment rock.
How does igneous rock change to sedimentary?
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
How can you change a igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?
The igneous rock must be broken down into fragments called sediment and somehow cemented together.
In the rock cycle what is formed when igneous rocks weather?
Sediment
What process can change igneous rock into sediment?
