From the rock cycle describe the changes that a sedimentary rock could undergo?
A sedimentary rock could undergo further compaction and cementation to become a metamorphic rock due to increased heat and pressure. It could also melt and solidify into an igneous rock through volcanic activity. If exposed to erosion, it could break down into sediments and form new sedimentary rocks through deposition and lithification.
What type of rock can become sedimentary?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
