Can igneous rocks turn into metamorphic rocks before turing into sedimentary rocks?

Any rock that is subjected to high temperatures and/or pressures (happens within earth's crust, commonly at great depth) can become a metamorphic rock.

Igneous rocks can turn into metamorphic rock. This is because according to the rock cycle, igneous ocks uplift and then due to pressure and temperature, it turns the rock into metarmorphic. Then it weathers into sediment which turns into the process of lithification and makes the rock sedimenatry. I hope the above explanation does help answer your question.

I think that metaphoric rocks are great i got 1 4 my birthday!!

of course they can, u silly billies!!! They turn into a hot soluble liquid then turn themselve by formula (2J h20) then mix hydrocloric acid and potassium iodine (which coms from the dried out soil after 1/2 centries of rain and nutrients) Which then turn into metamorphic rocks.

I complete agree eith that 'Lucy' Even though i dont who she is. But there is one thing there has to be 1 and a half years not half a year for the nutreints to sink in.
