Yes, by heat and pressure. It could turn into two types of igneous rocks: intrusive and extrusive. An intrusive igneous rock is formed by heat from a volcano. It is cooled slowly, and has big crystals. An extrusive igneous rock is formed outside a volcano. It cools slowly and has small/ not visible crystals. So basically, if the sedimentary rock gets into a volcano, it can turn into an igneous rock. Hope that answered your question.
Sulfur is not classified as igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary. Instead, it is an element that can be found in various rock types originating from volcanic activities, hydrothermal deposits, and sedimentary rocks where organic matter has been buried and transformed.
To become a sedimentary rock, an igneous rock must first be weathered, and then eroded, and then deposited as a sediment, and then consolidated (e.g. by cementation or pressure welding of grains.) To become a metamorphic rock it must be transformed by heat and pressure, which it can do directly (e.g. granite turning into gneiss) or after first turning into a sedimentary 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.
A metamorphic rock can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Or, a sedimentary rock (or sediments) can melt into magma and then cool and crystallize to become an igneous rock. Also, an igneous rock itself can undergo this process of melting and cooling as well.
No, igneous rock can undergo metamorphism without becoming sedimentary rock first. Metamorphism can occur in any rock type (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic) when exposed to high temperature and pressure, leading to the formation of new minerals and textures.
Sedimentary rock can be transformed into igneous rock through a process called "recrystallization." This occurs when sedimentary rocks are subjected to high pressures and temperatures deep within the Earth, causing the minerals to recrystallize and form new igneous rock. This process can also occur through the melting and solidification of sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rock can change into igneous rock, but not directly. The process involves first transforming sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock through heat and pressure. Then, if the metamorphic rock melts, it can become magma, which, upon cooling, crystallizes into igneous rock. Thus, while sedimentary rock does not directly become igneous rock, it can ultimately contribute to the formation of igneous rock through these intermediate steps.

No. There some very old igneous rocks to be found also it is possible for an igneous rock to become a metamorphic rock. Further, igneous rocks can not be turned into a sedimentary rocks directly. They must first be weathered and eroded and only then their detritus and remnants can be deposited as a new sedimentary deposit.
Sedimentary rocks get transformed into metamorphic and eventually igneous rocks in deep earth's crust.

Sedimentary rock can be transformed into igneous rock through the processes of melting and solidification. When sedimentary rock is subjected to extreme heat and pressure, it can melt into magma. If this magma then rises to the surface and cools, it solidifies to form igneous rock. This transformation typically occurs in volcanic or tectonically active environments.
In order to get an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must be melted and then that melt must crystallize.
No. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are three different categories of rock.
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
The sedimentary rocks would have to melt and cool again to make an igneous rock.
