Yes. A sedimentary rock, over time, can become buried under layers of newer rock. The heat and pressure from being in between layers of old and new rock, will change it from sedimentary to metamorphic.

Who is correct a metamorphic rock is formed from a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock can form from an igneous rock?

A metamorphic rock can form from either a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock. When subjected to high heat and pressure, existing rocks can recrystallize and change into new types of rocks, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.


How does sedimentary rock form to metamorphic rock?

Shale (a metamorphic rock) goes through heat and pressure than it turns into slate (a sedimentary rock)


What are the three types of rocks cycle?

The three types of rocks in the rock cycle are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from molten rock cooling and solidifying. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compaction of sediments. Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks under high pressure and temperature.


What type of rocks form when when they are turning into metamorphic rock to sedimentary rock?

limestone


What rock can only be formed from sedimenta rock or igneous rock?

Metamorphic rocks. With proper heat and pressure sedimentary and igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks.


What step in the rock helps sedimentary rock to form?

It's when parts of both igneous and metamorphic rocks are crushed together and then they form sedimentary rocks.


What are the three types of rocks involved in the rock cycle?

The three types of rocks involved in the rock cycle are igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the solidification of molten magma, sedimentary rocks form from the deposition and lithification of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from pre-existing rocks that are subjected to high heat and pressure.


Could a sedimentary and igneous rocks form into a metamorphic rock?

What do Volcanic eruptions form igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?

Igneous rocks


Is metamorphic rocks made up of sedimentary rock igneous rock or other metamorphic rocks?

Metamorphic rocks


How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?

Igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks by being subjected to high heat and pressure, causing recrystallization of minerals. Igneous rocks can also weather and erode to form sediment, which can then be deposited, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.


What kind of rock does a metamorphic rock start as?

Metamorphic rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks.
