Igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation.
IF the sedimentary rock is taken down deep into the earth in a subduction zone, it could melt and form lave.
That is false. The 3 main types of rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks must be subjected to high temperature and pressure within the Earth's crust to become metamorphic rocks. This process, known as metamorphism, causes changes in the mineral composition and texture of the sedimentary rock, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
Yes, through the process of erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification, sediments from existing sedimentary rocks can be weathered and broken down to form new sedimentary rocks. The cycle of sedimentary rock formation can involve the breakdown and reformation of older sedimentary rocks.

Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.
Sedimentary rocks can be eroded into sediments and form sedimentary rocks again, they can melt and become igneous rocks, and they can undergo extreme heat and pressure and become metamorphic rocks.
no because sedimentary rocks are made at the bottom of oceans
Some sedimentary rocks are particles and rock fragments that become cemented together. Examples of sedimentary rocks are chalk, sandstone, limestone and shale.
No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.
sedimentary rocks
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
No, any type of rock can become sedimentary rock, because sedimentary rock refers to any rock that has been eroded, and pressure has been applied to it so as to solidify it from a granular state.
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
Both sedimentary and igneous
