The effect of weathering is to reduce the volume of the igneous rock.
An igneous rock is resistant to weathering and erosion because is is is made from magma. And magma rocks are really tough.

Through the processes of weathering and erosion.
It starts with the weathering of exposed igneous rock into smaller particles over a long long period of time.
The igneous rock must be exposed to weathering, whether it be chemical weathering, or mechanical weathering.

By weathering either by physical or chemical weathering.
No. Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material.
Weathering and erosion turn igneous rock to metamorphic rock.

A metamorphic rock is a rock that has changed form through heat and pressure so a igneous rock (made from molten material from the earth that has solidified) would change to metamorphic rock through heat and pressure.
