Answer:

The physical change that takes place when an igneous rock turns into a sedimentary rock is weathering.

Step-by-step explanation:

Over a long period of time igneous and sedimentary rocks end up buried deep underground, usually because of the movement of the tectonic plates. While underground, these rocks are exposed to high heat and pressure, which changes them into metamorphic rock.
