All rocks can become igneous rocks.
With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock.
There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.

How many types of rocks?

What are 2 types of organic rocks?
Metamorphic and Igneous are two types.
What do igneous rocks become when you break down and settle into layer?
sedimentary rocks
What are types of volcanic rock?
Volcanic rocks are extrusive igneous rocks.
What are 2 things that can change rocks to other types of rocks?
There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and composites. Igneous rocks are formed when sedimentary or composite rocks experience extremes of heat and pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed when smaller particles are overlaid for extended periods of time. Composite rocks are formed a mixture of elements under pressure.
Where are the two types of igneous rocks made?

What types of rocks are apart of Igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are rocks that are type of rock that forms from molten rock.
What sort of rocks can igneous rocks make?
Igneous rocks can be transformed not made but i think you are asking what types of rocks are igneous rocks well any rock that had once been lava/molten is an igneous rock and lava/molten comes from volcano.You might want to search on Google-types of igneous rocks or how can igneous rocks be transformed.

How do igneous rock become metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks become igneous rocks by melting from heat and pressure, remnants of which may cool from melt (magma) and become components of igneous rock.
Do rocks change from one type to another or not change at all?
Rocks are constantly changing types. The three types are metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous. Igneous rocks are created when magma or lava cools and solidifies. Metamorphic rocks are created when rocks are put under high pressure and high heat, which compacts the molecules in the rocks. Sedimentary rocks are created when small particles of rocks accumulate in an area and are cemented together via pressure or chemical change. Therefore, sedimentary and igneous rocks can become metamorphic rocks if they are buried deep in the earth's crust. Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks can become igneous rocks if they are melted then resolidify from the magma or lava. Metamorphic and igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks if they are chipped into tiny pieces then accumulate together and become cemented.
