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.

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.


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.


How does sedimantary rock change into metamorphic rock?

When the sedimentary rock gets pressed with great pressure, it'll turn to metamorphic rock. Also, heating of the sedimentary rock by igneous intrusions will metamorphose it.
