The direct route would be for the metamorphic rocks to become exposed at the surface and undergo weathering and erosion. The particles broken loose and transported by those processes could eventually be deposited, compacted, and cemented together with other rock particles into a sedimentary rock.

∙ 8y agoMetamorphic rocks must first be weathered or eroded into sediments. Those sediments can then get compacted or cementated. Compaction occurs when the sediments are deeply buried, putting them under a lot of pressure which causes the sediments to squash together. Cementation occurs when newly formed minerals that are deposited by water act like a glue to stick the pieces of sediment together like a brick layer uses a bag of cement and sand.

Explain how a metamorphic rock can be changed into a sedimentary rock?
It's the other way around: How does a sedimentary rocks turn into a metamorphic rocks? The answers is: "By heat and pressure". Metamorphic rocks never turn into sedimentary rocks.
How do metamorphic rocks turn into a sedimentary rocks?
they cool and solidify on the earth's crust.
What are three types of rocks?
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
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.
What can metamorphism do?
metamorphism is when a Igneous and sedimentary rocks turn into metamorphic rock.
Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
What type of rocks cannot turn into sedimentary rocks?
No rock. Any rock can turn into sedimentary rock, such as granite (igneous rock) and slate (metamorphic rock). Even sedimentary rock can turn into other sedimentary rock.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
What features of sedimentary rocks are unlikely to be found in metamorphic rocks what features of metamorphic rocks do not occur in sedimentary rocks?

What are the similarities between sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks?
They are both rocks
