The way that igneous rocks turn into sediments is when weathering accurs. The weather such as rain,and earthquakes break up the rock and turn them into a sediment. The way this happens is when the rain washes off bits of the rock and make the rock smaller until it is the of a grain of salt.This process can take over 34 years if the the rock is a big rock.
Igneous rock is rock formed from a volcanic eruption. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock (which shares some properties with igneous rock) under enough heat/pressure. If it gets deep enough, the rock melts in the mantle and may get ejected from a volcano (this process takes thousands/millions of years) as igneous rock, but it is the "volcano" bit that makes it igneous rock.
Erosion deposits sediment.
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.
You would bring it to the surface where the exposed sedimentary rock would be subject to weathering and erosion and the debris from these processes will be sediment once deposited again.
Because it was originally a sediment, such as sand or mud, but was then lithified into a rock.
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.

Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
Sedimentary rock can be formed from lithified sediments.
The rock cycle describes how rocks are formed, and how they change to sedimentary rock, to metamorphic rock, to magma, to igneous rock, to sediment, and back to sedimentary rock.
When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock

Yes! The process of weathering can "break down" a sedimentary rock and turn it back into a sediment.
Evaporation removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock. When water evaporates everything that was in the water dries out. The evaporation of water from sediment takes a very long time to form sedimentary rock.
