Can sedimentary rock be changed into igneous rock?
If it is forced back into the molten layers of the Earth, then yes, it will become igneous rock.
What is an igneous intrusion between two sedimentary rock layers?
A laccolith is an igneous formation between two sedimentary layers
What does igneous rock composition mean?
Igneous rock composition basically means how the rock would look if you were to cut it in half. In the case of igneous rock, you would see the different layers of rocks that have melted with it.
Which type of rock forms in layers which are called strata?
Strata refers to the individual layers in sedimentary rock. On occassion, igneous rock can also demonstrate stratification.

What causes igneous rocks to become sedimentary rocks?
If other layers of rock, dirt, dust, and sand are put on top of the igneous rock and the layers are compressed by their own weight, they become a single, unified layer of sedimentary rock. Simple Version: 1. Igneous rock 2. More rocks are put on the igneous rock. 3. The rock on top push down and squeeze the all of the layers into one layer.
Sheets of igneous rock that are parallel to the layers they intrude?
A sheet of igneous rock that protrudes into the surrounding layers of rock is called a dike. Dikes are most often horizontal sheets that can form in many layers.
A sheet of igneous rock that protrude into the surrounding layers of rock?

How is igneous rock transported?
Igneous rock is transported by wind or moving water until they are deposited in other regions where they settle in layers.
Which igneous feature is formed when magma is forced into layers parallel to the surrounding rock layers?
A sill.
How can ingneous rock disturb sedimentary rock layers?
Molten Rock from with in earth can force its way up through the layers above it cooling and forming igneous rock.
