How does Sedimentary rocks change to igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
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 can igneous rock disturb sedimentary rock layers?
Igneous rocks can disturb sedimentary rock layers and formations by their movement during ascent through such layer. when they make contact with this sedimentary rocks they could result to folding and/or metamorphism.
What are the processes that can cause igneous or metamorphic rock to turn into sedimentary rock?
The metamorphic or igneous rock would have to be weathered and eroded until it is only particulates. Those particulates must then be forced together as a layer under gravitational pressure. These particulates will then become sedimentary rocks.
What forces cause rocks to change from one type to another?
Magma subjected to cooling becomes igneous rock. Igneous rock then is subjected to weathering and erosion forming sediment which becomes compacted and cemented as sedimentary rock. Both sedimentary rock as well as Igneous rock when subjected ti heat and pressure become Metamorphic rock. This cycle goes on and on and is called the rock cycle.

How does an igneous become sedimentary?
Weathering and erosion cause the igneous rock to break apart causing sediments from it to go somewhere like a river. Than over time compaction and cementation cause it to become a sedimentary rock.

What condition change igneous sedimentary to metamorphic rock?
The conditions that change igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock include high temperature, high pressure, and the presence of chemically active fluids. These conditions cause the minerals in the original rock to recrystallize, forming new minerals and textures characteristic of metamorphic rocks.
What condition change igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rock?
Extreme heat and pressure, like that of coal turning to diamonds. Metamorphic rocks, in turn, are then broken down or turned into molten rock, so new sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks can form.

What cause rock to change into igneous rock?
When the rock melts!!
What is the name for forces that cause a change in the motion of an object?
The name for forces that cause a change in the motion of an object is "external forces." These forces can include friction, gravity, air resistance, and applied forces.
What are the processes that can cause igneous or metamorphic rock to turn into sedimentary rock?
The metamorphic or igneous rock would have to be weathered and eroded until it is only particulates. Those particulates must then be forced together as a layer under gravitational pressure. These particulates will then become sedimentary rocks.
What forces cause sedimentary rocks to transform into metamorphic rocks?
Pressure and heat from being buried under mountains.
What is a metaphor rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are created by the physical or chemical alteration by heat and pressure of an existing igneous or sedimentary material into a denser form. This rock was compressed into an metamorphic by the tons and tons of pressure causing it to overheat and cause a change which can be chemical or physical.
