Erosion
by hardening over time
Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.
The rock cycle
Denudation, Weathering, Erosion, Diagnesis.
Weathering and erosion can break down igneous and metamorphic rocks into smaller pieces, which are then transported and deposited as sediments. This process involves physical and chemical breakdown of the rocks due to exposure to the elements and natural forces like wind, water, and ice.
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.

Sedimentary rock can be eroded into sediments, heated and compressed into metamorphic rock, or melted into magma and cooled into igneous rock.
Metamorphic rock which is exposed to increasing heat and pressure from various sources can eventually melt. If this melt then solidifies, it has become igneous rock.
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
