How does wind move different sizes of sediment?
The most important factor in the ability for wind to move sediments is how fast the wind is blowing. An extremely fast wind (think hurricanes) can move huge sizes of sediments as well as the small stuff. A light breeze, on the other hand, can barely pick up small grains. As the wind picks stuff up, so does it drop stuff down. Bigger sediments will travel much shorter distances due to the fact that the wind can't necessarily sustain high speeds for long distances. The smallest stuff will travel the furthest. This principle of sorting is true in all types of erosion, from water to ice to, obviously, wind.
How does a newly formed rock turn in to sediment?
Over a long period of time, the rock erodes into sediments. These sediments, along with pressure and water, form sedimentary rocks.
How can an igneous rock change into a sedimentary rock over millions of years?
When an igneous rock is eroded by rain, wind, etc. the small grains and dust are swept into streams and rivers. Eventually they are deposited in lakes, seas or oceans. After a long time these sediments build up and are covered by later sediments. Due to compaction from overlying sediments they gradually turn into a rock, a sedimentary rock.

What is a brief summary for the section angularity in the Earth science book?
when particles collide with each other and with other object in their path it happens when sediments is transported from its source to where it is deposited. these collision can cause the particles to change size and shape. angular and uneven rocks are when particles that have moved long distances from the source tends to be more rounder and smoother. the farther sediments travel from its source the finer and smoother the particles of sediments become.
