Answer:

Sedimentary rocks

Explanation:

Igneous rocks will become sedimentary rocks when they break down and settle into layers .

Igneous rocks are rocks that are formed by the cooling and solidification of magma within or on the earth crust.

When agents of weathering and denudation forces acts on a rock body, they break them down producing sediments in the process.

  • Sediments are transported into depositional basins where they are laid down and cemented together.
  • This in turn forms sedimentary rocks.
  • The break down and settling of sediments leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
