What process changes a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock can change intometamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rockcan change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals.
Which process changes ingeous rocks into metamorphic?
Answering "What process changes igneous rocks into metamorphic types?"Igneous rocks convert into metamorphic due to extreme pressure and heat, which can come from magma/lava or the movement of tectonic plates. For example, the igneous rock basalt eventually turns into the metamorphic rock granulite.
What is the process called where igneous sedimentary or metamorphic rocks are changed by heat or pressure?
Your question contains part of the answer, 'metamorphic' rocks are the product of this process and the process is called Metamorphism - the solid-state recrystallization of pre-existing rocks as a result of changes in heat, pressure, and/or introduction of fluids.
Is breccia a sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rock?
Yes. In the rock cycle, any sedimentary rock can be transformed into a metamorphic rock due to deep burial where the rock is changed by the earth's high temperature and pressure, an exposure to a plutonic intrusion, where rocks such as granite are formed, or any other process where heat and pressure alter the composition, appearance, and classification of a rock. An igneous rock can turn into a metamorphic rock or a sedimentary rock. A metamorphic rock can turn into an igneous rock or a sedimentary rock, and a sedimentary rock can turn into an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock.
What is the process called when a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock becomes a metamorphic rock in the rock cycle?
Heat and pressure

Does an igneous rock have to go through the sedimentary process in order to become metamorphic?
No, it doesn't.
What process helps change metamorphic and igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Weathing and erosion.
The process by which metamorphic rock changes to igneous begins with What?
It begins with melting.

What process must take place to change igneous or sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure

What process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Subduction and high pressure.
What process did iron ore go through to be a sedimentary rock?
Orginally an igneous rock and then became secondary metamorphic rock and now sedimentary rock.
What is the process called when a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock becomes a metamorphic rock in the rock cycle?
Heat and pressure
