Any kind of rock can be "destroyed" when it comes down to it. If the question is whether sedimentary rock can be changed so that it is no longer the same kind of rock, the answer is - YES.
Under sufficient pressure and temperature, most kinds of sedimentary rock transform into a related metamorphic rock.
- slate pretty much always comes from shale - and can further transform in to phylite
- schist starts out as clay or mud which become shale (sedimentary rock) and through multiple transition steps over a long time eventually becomes schist
- gneiss may be formed from sedimentary rock
- limestone (a sedimentary rock) can be transformed in to marble
- sand can become sandstone (sedimentary rock) and further transform into quartzite
- sandstone, shale, and limestone can be transformed into hornfels
What else can I help you with?
How is sediment?
The sediment transport by the rock cycle
The ease with which water flows through the open spaces in a rock or sediment indicates the what of the rock or sediment?
The ease with which water flows through the open spaces in a rock or sediment indicates the permeability of the rock or sediment. Permeability refers to the ability of fluids to flow through the rock or sediment. A more permeable rock or sediment will have higher porosity and allow for better fluid flow.
How is a igneos rock destroyed?
Igneous rocks can be destroyed through weathering and erosion processes, where they are broken down into sediment and transported away by water, wind, or ice. The sediment may eventually become compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks can also be physically broken down through processes such as frost wedging or root wedging.
How do you know a rock if whether it's a sediment rock or not?
you can tell if its a sediment rock if you can feel different elements of sand or pebbles

What rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion?
Any and all rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion.
What are the families of rock?
the family's of rock are igneose, and sediment
What happens to sediment as it change to sedimentary rock?
Erosion deposits sediment.
What processes turn sediment rock?
Weathering and erosion produces and transports sediment.
Why is mudstone a sedimentary rock?
It is made from sediment that has collected, mud is considered a sediment
