Rocks can change from one type to another through the rock cycle. Igneous rocks can transform into sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion, followed by the accumulation and lithification of sediments. Sedimentary rocks can become metamorphic rocks when subjected to high heat and pressure, altering their mineral composition and structure. Additionally, both igneous and metamorphic rocks can melt into magma, which, upon cooling, forms new igneous rocks, thus completing the cycle.
