To turn into a sedimentary rock, an igneous rock must first be weathered (broken down), eroded (moved), and then lithified (compacted and cemented) into a new rock.

What processes can change sedimentary rock into igeous rock?

Sedimentary rock can be transformed into igneous rock through the processes of melting and solidification. When sedimentary rock is subjected to extreme heat and pressure, it can melt into magma. If this magma then rises to the surface and cools, it solidifies to form igneous rock. This transformation typically occurs in volcanic or tectonically active environments.


What process can change sedimentary rock into igeous rock?

Sedimentary rock can be transformed into igneous rock through the process of melting and subsequent solidification. When sedimentary rock is subjected to extreme heat and pressure, it can melt into magma. If this magma then rises to the surface and cools, it crystallizes to form igneous rock. This process can occur at tectonic plate boundaries or through volcanic activity.
