Can intrusive igneous rock becomes a sedimentary rock?
Yes and No An igneous rock can not just "become" a sedimentary rock, it first has to be weathered and eroded at the surface of the Earth. The debris produced is then washed away as sediment and deposited elsewhere. This deposited sediment then gradually hardens into a new rock which is a sedimentary rock. Thus until igneous rocks are exposed in outcrop, they remain as igneous rocks.
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
Why is that igneous rock must always become sedimentary rock?
It doesn't have to. Most rocks exposed at the surface will erode and become sedimentary, but igneous rock that is underground can be remelted and become another igneous rock, or can become metamorphic.
Can Sedimentary rock cannot change into igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock can change into igneous rock, but not directly. The process involves first transforming sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock through heat and pressure. Then, if the metamorphic rock melts, it can become magma, which, upon cooling, crystallizes into igneous rock. Thus, while sedimentary rock does not directly become igneous rock, it can ultimately contribute to the formation of igneous rock through these intermediate steps.
When lava cools does it become sedimentary rock?
No. It becomes igneous rock.

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 does Sedimentary rocks change to igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
Which type of rocks can become metamorphic?
Both sedimentary and igneous
Why is that igneous rock must always become sedimentary rock?

What type of rock can become sedimentary?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
Is there a sentence with the word rock cycle?
Igneous rock can weather and become sedimentary rock . Metamorphic rock can be melted in a volcano and become igneous rock. Igneous rock and sedimentary rock can be heated and pressurized to form metamorphic rock.

No. It becomes igneous rock.
How can an igneous rock become a sedimentary rocks?
Yes, after erosion and deposition.
