Answer 1

The process of how an igneous rock can turn into a sedimentary rock is through erosion, pressure, and cementation. Over time, weathering and erosion can break down an igneous rock into smaller particles or sediment. These sediments can then become compacted under pressure and cemented together by minerals such as silica, calcium carbonate, or iron oxide to form a sedimentary rock. Heat is not typically involved in this process, whereas pressure and cementation play important roles.
