What do changes in temperature cause rock to do?
Changes in temperature cause rock to expand and contract. This may cause them to crack, and pieces may break off.
How does thermal expansion affect rocks?
When the temperature goes up, the rock expands. When the temperature goes down, the rock contracts. If the temperature goes up and down enough, the rock will eventually begin to break down.

How would a sedimentary rock change to a metamorphic rock?
Through metamorphism, as a result of increase in pressure and/or temperature.
What process is needed to change sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
An increase in pressure and / or temperature would be needed to convert a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock.
How could an igneous rock change to a metamorphic rock?
Under influence of pressure and temperature, a rock can change, the process is called deformation or metamorphism, the result is a metamorphic rock. This can happen to igneous rocks as well.
