What is the process in which rocks first bend and then break?
The process is called weathering because the changes in the weather break the rocks.
A process that changes the minerals that make up rocks?
I believe it is physical weathering
What is the process in which rocks change shape is called deformation deposition composition or flotation?
deformation
Which process changes ingeous rocks into metamorphic?
Answering "What process changes igneous rocks into metamorphic types?"Igneous rocks convert into metamorphic due to extreme pressure and heat, which can come from magma/lava or the movement of tectonic plates. For example, the igneous rock basalt eventually turns into the metamorphic rock granulite.
What is the process called where igneous sedimentary or metamorphic rocks are changed by heat or pressure?
Your question contains part of the answer, 'metamorphic' rocks are the product of this process and the process is called Metamorphism - the solid-state recrystallization of pre-existing rocks as a result of changes in heat, pressure, and/or introduction of fluids.

What changes shape when it is cut?
Cutting is a physical process.
What process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Subduction and high pressure.
A process that changes the minerals that make up rocks?
I believe it is physical weathering
What process gradually changes rocks one form to another?
The Rock Cycle.
Do rocks transform?
Yes, rocks change in form, shape, size, type, and class through the process of rock cycle.
What is the name of the process by which the shape of a rock changes in response to stress?
