During rock cycle an igneous rock could turn into any of the three types of rock. It could undergo weathering and form sediments which results to sedimentary rocks, it could also under intense temperature and pressure without melting to form metamorphic rock and can also become part of molten magma to form igneous rock again.

What can dolomite rock turn into?
A metamorphic or Igneous rock
Is it true the rock cycle is a process that is always occurring?
Yes, the rock cycle is a continuous process where rocks are constantly changing from one type to another over long periods of time. It involves processes such as weathering, erosion, sedimentation, metamorphism, melting, and solidification.
Is it possible that the igneous rock can be formed into sedimentary or metamorphic or sedimentary to igneous or metamorphic?
Most of it you got right. Have you ever heard of something called the rock cycle? If you have, good. If you haven't, here is a link to an excellent diagram: http://www.emporia.edu/earthsci/student/henderson1/rock_cycle.gif Anyway, if you look at the diagram, you can see how igneous rock can transform into sediment, then sedimentary rock, or bypass sedimentary rock altogether and go to metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can turn into metamorphic rock with heat and pressure. However, to turn into igneous rock from sedimentary rock, it will have to melt down into magma/lava before becoming igneous rock once again.
What process is needed for an igneous rock to turn into sedimentary rock?
Heat, erosion and pressure.
What two things are needed to turn igneous rock into metamorphic rock?

Which type of rocks can turn into an igneous rock through the rock cycle?
A metamorphic rock can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Or, a sedimentary rock (or sediments) can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Also, an igneous rock itself can undergo this process of melting and cooling as well.
What types of rocks can become igneous rocks?
All rocks can become igneous rocks. With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock. There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.
How does a igneous rock turn into a igneous rock?
An igneous rock is formed when magma rises through the earth's crust and cools.
Does a rock go through the complete rock cycle by changing from igneous rock to sedimentary to metamorphic?
Yes, it can. However, an igneous rock can change to a metamorphic rock skipping sedimentary: the tectonic plates can push igneous rock deep into the ground, forming metamorphic rock. Sedimentary can form metamorphic, metamorphic can form magma or lava by melting and/or erupting and then turn into igneous. Igneous forms sedimentary with erosion, deposition compaction, and cementation.
How does a metamorphic rock turn into a igneous rock?
If it finds its way dowm into the earths crust through rock cycle and then is melted and mixes together to form molten magma, it could re-erupt to the earths surface and form an extrusive igneous rock or cool and solidify within the earths crust as an intrusive igneous rock.
What can heat turn an igneous rock into?
metamorphic rock.....
What can dolomite rock turn into?
A metamorphic or Igneous rock
How does a sedimentary rock turn into a igneous rock?
It melts it
How does a igneous rock turn into sedimentary rock?
It melts it

How do magma turn into extrusive igneous rock?
Lava can turn into igneous rock in 2 ways. When the lava cools to a hardening point inside the volcano it is called intrusive igneous rock. When lava cools outside of the volcano it is called extrusive igneous rock.
How will a sedimentary rock turn into an igneous rock?
Igneous rocks are formed when rock melts in a volcano or other hot spot.
