  1. An igneous rock can be weathered into sediments and become sedimentary rock.

    It can also be buried within the earth due to plate tectonics activities.  It melts and then cools and solidifies to become another igneous rock.  Igneous rock is also formed from cooled lava during a volcanic eruption.

    It can also be buried and be subjected to tremendous heat and pressure to be come a metamorphic rock.

    The same process can change metamorphic rock into sedimentary rock, igneous rock or another type of metamorphic rock.

    I am sure you see where this is going now.

    It would be the same for sedimentary rock.

  2. igneous rock is a rock formed from solidified magma either on the surface from lava or underground.

    sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediments, such as fragments of rocks worn from the land (clastic rocks). the remains of once-living things (organic rocks) or from chemicals precipitated from water. most sedimentary rocks accumulate, layer by layer, in water, but some accumulate on land. at first, sediments are loose, but they gradually become compressed and cemented together.

    metamorphic rocks are either igneous or sedimentary which have been changed by great heat, pressure or chemical reactions in the Earth's crust. for example, contact metamorphism is caused mainly by heat from pockets of magma.
