what processes must sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock
A pre-existing, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock.
The only way a metamorphic rock can become a sedimentary rock is if it is eroded and the pieces settle in a body of water and eventually become sedimentary rock. A whole piece of metamorphic rock is never going to become , by itself, a piece of sedimentary rock.
Metamorphic
It turns into a metamorphic rock.
sandstone
Igneous rock can weather and become sedimentary rock . Metamorphic rock can be melted in a volcano and become igneous rock. Igneous rock and sedimentary rock can be heated and pressurized to form metamorphic rock.
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
When sedimentary rock undergoes enough heat and pressure, it becomes metamorphic rock. A classic example of this is when shale becomes slate.
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock but due to metamorphosis it turns to Marble, a metamorphic rock.
