The process of one type of rock which is changes to another in a cyclical manner this transformation of rocks that is known as the rock cycle.
When produced under conditions involving intense heat, as rocks of volcanic origin or rocks crystallized from molten magma and sedimentary rocks are subjected to heat and pressure, they change into metamorphic rocks, which are still under heat and pressure meltdown to form molten magma. This molten magma when it's cool down to form igneous rocks in a cyclic way to repeats.

Answer:
The process is known as the rock cycle.
Explanation:
- It's a geologic concept where the rocks undergo certain changes and evolve into another form by the geomaterial and with various forces of transportation. The igneous rocks are thus called the primary rocks as they were first rocks to begin form the melting lava and magma and thus they were created deep in the earth by the molten matter.
- The sedimentary rocks are a transformation of the primary rocks such as basalts and others into smaller and sediments by the erosion and deposition processes that leads to the classification and cementation of the strata and layers of rocks.
- The secondary being the metamorphic rocks that are made form the sedimentary rocks when they are compacted with extreme heat and pressure under the surface of the earth and thus the metamorphic can also go metamorphism and then again transformed into igneous or sedimentary rocks like marble and gneiss.
