What happens to the rock fragments that get buried after a long time?
It depends how deep it is buried. If it is just covered with more and more sediment, it will compact and cement to become sedimentary rock.

What type of rock is formed when small rock fragments are cemented together?
Sedimentary rock is formed when small rock fragments are cemented together. This happens through a process called lithification where sediments are compacted and cemented together over time. Sandstone and conglomerate are examples of sedimentary rocks formed in this way.
How does an intrusive igneous rock become a sedimemtary rock?
It gets eroded (broken down), then buried (maybe at the bottom of the sea), then the fragments become cemented as dissolved minerals fall out of solution to fill the cracks, forming a solid rock. The new rock is sedimentary (from sediment).
What kind of rock is composed of rounded rock fragments?
