Igneous rock can be transformed into sediment through a process called weathering, which involves the physical breakdown and chemical alteration of the rock due to environmental factors such as wind, water, temperature changes, and biological activity. Over time, these processes erode the rock into smaller particles and minerals. Once disintegrated, these sediments can be transported by erosion agents like rivers and glaciers before eventually being deposited in new locations, where they may accumulate and lithify into sedimentary rock.
Actually it can - but only if it is first eroded and deposited as sediment.
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
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.......
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.......
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.

Weathering and erosion processes break down the igneous rock into smaller particles, which are then transported and deposited as sediment by agents such as water, wind, or ice. Over time, compaction and cementation of these sediment particles can result in the formation of sedimentary rock.

Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
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.

The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an igneous rock.
Sedimentary rocks can change to igneous rock when it goes through the rock cycle so a sediment can move to igneous rock where there is a volcanic activity happens making the the sediment get heat and pressure that makes igneous rock.So when you do the rock cycle you can go from igneous rock to a metamorphic rock.
