Sedimentary rock formation begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface they begin the long slow but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock.
Where do minerals from cementation of igneous rocks come from?

What two geological process are involved in changing an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock?
The two geological processes involved in changing an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock are weathering and erosion. Weathering is the process of decomposing rocks, while erosion refers to the process of wearing away the surface of rocks by the action of water, glaciers and winds.
