It starts with the weathering of exposed igneous rock into smaller particles over a long long period of time.

Can high pressure can change an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?

No, high pressure alone cannot change an igneous rock into sedimentary rock; however, the reverse is true. High pressure can change sedimentary rock into igneous rock.


What starts the change from a igneous rock to a sedimentary rock?

Weathering and erosion break down the igneous rock into sediment. The sediment is then transported and deposited, where it undergoes compaction and cementation to form a sedimentary rock.


How does a igneous rock change into an sedimentary rock?

What starts the change from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock?

When an igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediments by processes like wind, water, or ice, it can then be transported and deposited in layers. Over time, the sediments can undergo compaction and cementation, forming a sedimentary rock.


How does igneous rock change to sedimentary?

Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)


What process changes a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock?

Sedimentary rock can change intometamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rockcan change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals.


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.
