How does metamorphic rock become sedimentary rock?

Answer 1

Through weathering and erosion of the metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock, exposed to weathering processes at the surface, breaks into smaller pieces. Erosional processes transport these pieces to a place of deposition where they build up, layer on layer. Eventually the compaction caused by the weight of the sediments above reduces the amount of space and water between particles. In this process of rock formation known as lithification, cementing minerals are formed out of the slowly disappearing fluids, which are saturated with mineral components. Once cemented together, it is now considered sedimentary rock.

Answer 2

Sedimentary rock becomes metamorphic rock through the addition of heat and/or pressure. Contact metamorphic rocks are those primarily transformed by close proximity to an intrusion of magma, where a recrystallization or elemental transfer can take place. Sedimentary rocks like shale can metamorphose into slate mainly through pressure and heat derived from plate collision, where the alignment of minerals is changed resulting in a foliated texture.

Answer 3

Metamorphic rock can become sedimentary rock by pieces of it chipping off from wind, water, and, ice and being deposited in places, then other sediments being deposited there as well, and over time, being cemented together over time, and becoming a sedimentary rock.

Answer 4

A metamorphic roc becomes sedimentary when erosion, deposition and cementation
