Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)

Igneous rock. Because if you melt a sedimentary rock it will change to magma and when it cools it will become igneous rock.

Can igneous rock be formed into a metamorphic rock?
An igneous rock can be metamorphosed (changed) into a metamorphic rock but will no longer be an igneous rock. An igneous body can be intruded into metamorphic rocks but will still be an igneous rock that is different from the surrounding metamorphic rocks. Ethier answer work depending on how the question is read.
How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous-sedimentary weathering/erosion Igneous-Metamorphic high pressure and heat
What in no more than three sentences can you explain the rock cycle?
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.
How do Metamorphic and Igneous Rocks differ?
Metamorphic rock differs from Igneous rock by, Metamorphic rock forms when sedimentary and igneous rocks change under heat and pressure. Igneous rocks form as lava cools and hardens.
Name the 3 kinds of rocks?
There are three major types of rock: igneous (formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava) sedimentary (laid down as sediments) and metamorphic (changed by heat and/or pressure)
What is required to change an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?
Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.
How the igneous rocks change?
Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.
How do igneous rocks from into a sedimentary rock?
igneous rocks mix with metamorphic rocks and they combine together to make a sedimentary rock. the three themes of science rocks are metamorphic,igneous, and sedimentary.

How do igneous rocks change into 'sedimentary rocks?
AnswerUsually by subduction of sedimentary rock at plate boundaries, melting, and deposition as solidified crustal igneous rock, either extrusive or intrusive.
What processes help change metamorphic and igneous rocks to sedimentary rocks?
The rock cycle
Is a sedimentary rock an igneous rock?
No. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are three different categories of rock.
What type of rocks change into igneous rock?
I know one of them...Sedimentary hope i helped... =) All 3 are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
What are 3 major rock types?
Igneous Rocks,Sedimentary Rocks,Metamorphic Rocks.
Why do rock fossils form in sedimentary rock and not in igneous rock?
because sedimentary rocks are on the top layer, while igneous rocks are were the magma is
What are the 3 rocks in the rock cycle?
Three (3) rocks in the rock cycle are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock.
