Can igneous rock be weathered to form sediment?
Yes. Any rock can be weathered to form sediment.
What type of rock is likely to form next when extrusive igneous rock is broken down by wheathering?
its a cambrela rock
Which came first sedimentary igneous metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rock would probably have been the first rock type formed after the initial formation of the first igneous rock. Sedimentary rock formation relies on weathering and erosion, whereas metamorphic rock can be created by heat and pressure. It's likely that rock was metamorphosed before weathering existed .
Where is an igneous rock most likely from?
igneous rocks usally form by cooled magma.
What did igneous rock begin as?
most likely as a liquid
What type of rock is likely to form next when extrusive igneous rock is broken down by weathering?
Sedimentary
What type is rock is likely to form next when extrusive igneous rock is broken down by weathering?
Sedimentary
Which tough mineral is most likely to survive extensive chemical weathering and form sand grains on beaches or dunes?
Quartz
Once the rock is formed will it always be an igneous rock?
It is possible, but not likely. It is more likely to undergo metamorphism, or be subjected to weathering and erosion, and end up as a different type of rock.

Soils with an abundant supply of potassium would likely have been developed from which igneous rocks containing which primary minerals?
The soils would probably have developed from the weathering and erosion of the intrusive igneous rock granite which contains potassium feldspars, also called K-spars, K-feldspars, and microcline.
Where is an igneous rock most likely from?
igneous rocks usally form by cooled magma.
Which is not a likely outcome after extensive irrigation of dry farmland?
Nutrient-rich soil is not a likely outcome after extensive irrigation of dry farmland
What did igneous rock begin as?
most likely as a liquid
Does an igneous rock contain iron?
Most igneous rocks would likely contain a varying amount of iron.
