Can sedimentary rock form directly from metamorphic rock?
Yes, sedimentary rock can form from metamorphic rock through a process called retrograde metamorphism. In this process, metamorphic rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion to form sediment, which can then be compacted and cemented to form new sedimentary rock.
How many layers do metamorphic layers have?

What type of rock forms when heat and pressure change one type of rock into another?
Changes in the structure, texture, or mineralogy of existing rocks will create a metamorphic rock. Metamorphism can result from the effects of heat and/or pressure, or from the addition of ions from heated fluids. Examples of metamorphic rock are slate, schist, and gneiss.
Where can one find metamorphic rock?
One can find a metamorphic rock in a variety of locations. Some of the places where one can find a metamorphic rock include the base of mountains and within the Earth's crust.
What type of rock is a metamorphic?
