Why cant igneous rock turn into sedimentay rock?
Actually it can - but only if it is first eroded and deposited as sediment.
How does igneous rock change to sedimentary?
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
How can a metamorphic rock turn into sedimentary rock and then back to metamorphic?
metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......
Could a metamorphic rock turn into a sedimentry rock and then back to metamorphic?
yes eventually but there are steps:metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......
What types of rocks can become igneous rocks?
All rocks can become igneous rocks. With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock. There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.
What process will turn an igneous rock into a sediment?
Erosion

Is burial of sediment which makes the igneous rocks?
Burial of sediment does not make igneous rock.

What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
How a sedimentary rock can turn into a igneous rock?
it gets weathered into sediment, then it gets washed into the ocean, sediment layers up over millions of years, and it gets squashed into sedimentery rock, then metamorphic and so on.

What rock forms when sediment is transported and then compressed?
igneous rock

How does a igneous rock become a sedimentary rock?
The igneous rock gets weathered into sediment by wind, water, and ices. The sediment is deposited in a basin and buried. The pressure of burial and the heat inside Earth turns that sediment into stone.
What process can lead to igneous rock becoming sedimentary rock?
When igneous rocks are crushed and compacted into sediment
