When sedimentary rock such as breccia gets buried deep within the earth, it changes into metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock then can be changed into magma and reintroduced as igneous rocks, such as rhyolite or granite.

What process changes a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock can change intometamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rockcan change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals.
In the rock cycle the process by which an igneous rock changes to a sedimentary rock must begin with?
erosion
Is it possible for rocks to skip sedimentary in the rock cycle?
Yes a rock can change from metamorphic to igneous back to metamorphic the rock cycle does not go in order unless magma cools into igneous and sediment changes into sedimentary rock
Why does the igneous rock turn into a sedimentary rock?
becuase the igneous rock cools dowwn and turn into sedimentary rock
What process changes igneous rock and metamorphic rock into sedimentary rock?
Broadly weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation.
True or false sedimentary rock can be formed from changes in igneous rock but idneous rock cannot be formed changes in the sedimentary rock?
False Sedimetary rocks can be formed from changes in igneous rock, and igneous rock can be from changes in sedimentary rock.
What changes igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?
melting and crystalization
What is granite in sedimentary form?
No, it's not a sedimentary rock, it is an igneous rock. :)

How igneous rock changes to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock to change to Igneous rock by applying heat and pressure , which creates Metamorphic rock . Next , Metamorphic rock turns to Magma because it melts . Lastly you have to let the Magma cool and it becomes an Igneous rock . That is how Sedimentary rock changes to Igneous rock .
In the rock cycle the process by which an igneous rock changes to a sedimentary rock must begin with?

What changes other types of rock to metamorphic?
Heating and pressurization changes igneous and sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rock.
Which process changes sedimentary rock into igneous?
Melting and crystallization.

Can you give me an example of an igneous rock that can change into a sedimentary rock?
ones it get pressure and heated
