By exposure to heat and/or pressure through depth of burial, directed pressure, or proximity to a magma source. Existing minerals can recrystallize, non-hydrous minerals can replace hydrous minerals, new minerals can be formed from the introduction of new ions from heated solutions, and minerals can become flattened and aligned in parallel layers.
What else can I help you with?
What type of rock may sedimentary rock turn into?
Metamorphic or new sedimentary rock.
What type of rock does sedimentary rock turn into when it is buried?
metamorphic
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.
Can any sedimentary rock turn into any metamorphic rock?
no, it can't
What rock does sedimentary rock turn into at the ocean when erosion occurs?
metamorphic
What causes to a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock that turn into an igneous rock?
Melting.
Can igneous rock and sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock turn into magma?
no it can't
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.
Is breccia a sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rock?
Yes. In the rock cycle, any sedimentary rock can be transformed into a metamorphic rock due to deep burial where the rock is changed by the earth's high temperature and pressure, an exposure to a plutonic intrusion, where rocks such as granite are formed, or any other process where heat and pressure alter the composition, appearance, and classification of a rock. An igneous rock can turn into a metamorphic rock or a sedimentary rock. A metamorphic rock can turn into an igneous rock or a sedimentary rock, and a sedimentary rock can turn into an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock.
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.
Can an metamorphic rock turn into either a igneous or a sedimentary rock?
yes. it can turn into either one
What do you need to turn metamorphic into sedimentary?
To turn metamorphic rock into sedimentary rock, you need to weather and erode the metamorphic rock into smaller particles or sediments. These sediments are then transported by natural processes such as water, wind, or ice. Once deposited, they undergo lithification, which involves compaction and cementation, transforming them into sedimentary rock.
