Igneous, metamorphic, and existing sedimentary rocks can weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can break down into sediments through processes like weathering and erosion, which then may accumulate and lithify into sedimentary rocks. Existing sedimentary rocks can also be reworked and lithified to form new sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation.
Yes, igneous rocks can change into sedimentary rocks through a process called weathering and erosion. This involves the breakdown of the igneous rock into sediment particles, which can then be transported and deposited to form a new sedimentary rock.
No, pebbles are not necessarily igneous rocks by default. Pebbles can be formed from a variety of rock types, including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, depending on the geological processes that created them.
Roughly 75-80% of the Earth's crust is made up of igneous rocks, 15-20% are metamorphic rocks, and 5-10% are sedimentary rocks. These percentages can vary depending on the local geology and geological processes at work.
No, igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks on average.
The rock cycle
Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.

they change into metamorphic rocks
Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks can change into igneous rocks through the process of melting and cooling. When subjected to intense heat and pressure, the rocks can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify, forming igneous rocks.

Many kinds of rocks both of igneous and sedimentary nature eg; Limestone (sedimentary ) to marble or granite or diorite (igneous) to gneiss.
