What is the difference between igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rock is formed from the lithification of sediments, generally.
What is the process sedimentary to igneous?

Is a sedimentary rock an igneous rock?
No. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are three different categories of rock.
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
To date a sedimentary rock layer between two igneous rock units geologists use radiometric dating and assume that the sedimentary layers are?
Geologists use radiometric dating of the igneous rock units above and below the sedimentary layer to establish a time range for the sedimentary rock. They assume that the sedimentary layers are younger than the underlying igneous rock and older than the overlying igneous rock, based on the principle of superposition. This allows them to estimate the age of the sedimentary layer by determining the ages of the surrounding igneous rocks.
How does a Sedimentary rock to an igneous rock?
The sedimentary rocks would have to melt and cool again to make an igneous rock.
What is the name for rocks changing between sedimentary metamorphic and igneous rock?
