Want this question answered?
In clastic (or detrital) sedimentary rock:Weathering of an existing body of igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rock by natural mechanical or chemical means.Erosion of the weathered particles by wind, water, ice, and gravity.Deposition of the particles after transportation.Compaction of the particles by the weight of overlying sediments.Cementation of the particles by mineral precipitation from surrounding fluids.
In order to get an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must be melted and then that melt must crystallize.
um ok
No, it doesn't.
The four stages in the formation of sedimentary rock always proceed in the same order. This order is 1. Weathering of rocks, 2. Erosion by wind and water carry the products of weathering to a new place, 3. Compaction, 4. Cementation.
Weathering-deposition-erosion
weathering, cementation, deposition
The processes would be, in order of their occurrence: weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.
weathering erosion deposition compaction/cementation
In order for an igneous rock to be changed to a sedimentary rock the rock must be weathered down into, well, some form of sediment (sand, gravel, ect.) and then have pressure applied to it to become a sedimentary rock.
Foremost would be pressure, usually from burial by additional sediments. The other processes take it from there.
weathering and erosion and deposition this answer is not wrong and its good

Yes a rock can change from metamorphic to igneous back to metamorphic the rock cycle does not go in order unless magma cools into igneous and sediment changes into sedimentary rock
