Sedimentary rock is rock that has been worn away and turned into sediment such as sand. That sediment is then compacted together and turned into rock. So metamorphic rock wears away and compacts into sedimentary rock
How does metamorphic rock turn to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks get turned in to metamorphic rocks by heat and pressure. They get heated by magma and convection currents, which causes the rock to change.
How does a metamorphic rock get turned into a sedimentary rock?
Usually through the weathering and erosion of the metamorphic rock. The rock particles from the metamorphic rock are transported to a place of deposition where they can be cemented together by a process called lithification, forming a sedimentary rock.
How a metamorphic rock can be changed into a sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock can be broken down in the weathering process, the same as any other type of rock. Once the weathered material is deposited, compacted, and lithified (turned to rock), it becomes a sedimentary rock.
Is metamorphic rock sedimentary?
No, metamorphic rock is not sedimentary; those are two different types.
Is the rock chalk metamorphic?
No it is not metamorphic, it is a sedimentary rock.
What rock can be changed directly into with the application of heat and pressure?
Metamorphic and sedimentary Rock's
How do heat and pressure change sedimentary rock?

What are the types of the rock?
The types of rocks are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic.
What in no more than three sentences can you explain the rock cycle?
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.
