How does sedimentary rock become igneous rock?

0

If sedimentary rock is melted, then solidifies from melt, it is now an igneous rock. This can occur from contact with an intruding body of magma, or from heat and pressure from deep burial or collisions between plates and orogenic processes, where the sedimentary rock is first metamorphosed before melting.
