Granite, an igneous rock, can transform into a sedimentary rock through the processes of weathering and erosion, breaking it down into smaller particles that are transported and deposited, eventually cementing together as sedimentary rock. Over time, if this sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure, it can metamorphose into a metamorphic rock, such as gneiss. This cycle illustrates the rock cycle, where rocks continuously change from one type to another over geological time.
