Two of the most common fates of igneous rocks are to become sediment (and later sedimentary rocks) or to become metamorphic rocks.
Igneous rock can undergo weathering and erosion, breaking down into sediments that may eventually compact and cement into sedimentary rock. Alternatively, it can be subjected to intense heat and pressure, transforming it into metamorphic rock. Both pathways illustrate the dynamic processes of the rock cycle, showcasing how rocks can change forms over geological time.
An igneous rock can either be weathered and eroded into sediment, which may then become compacted and cemented to form a sedimentary rock, or it can be subjected to heat and pressure to recrystallize and create a metamorphic rock.

Two processes a rock must undergo before becoming an igneous rock are melting, where the rock is heated to a point where it turns into magma, and cooling, where the magma solidifies to form an igneous rock.
The two types of igneous rock are are intrusive and extrusive, depending on where they form. Intrusive igneous rock forms underground from slow cooling magma. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface from quick cooling lava.
Extrusive igneous rock is one of two different types of igneous rocks. The other kind is intrusive igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rock is formed when magma in Earth's lithosphere cools and hardens. Extrusive igneous rock is formed when lava on Earth's surface cools and hardens.
