Sedimentary rocks are formed by a four step process called Lithification (1. Erosion, 2. Deposition, 3. Cementation, 4. Compaction).
Metamorphic rocks are formed by heat, time, and pressure.

What conditions do sedimentary rocks form?
Sediments and pressure
What sedimentary rocks form when rocks broken down by weathering and erosion and then compacted together by pressure?
When sedimentary rocks break down and then are compacted by pressure, the resulting rock will be a metamorphic rock.
Sandstone and basalt can be changed by heat pressure to form?
Sedimentary rocks
What must be present for igneous and sedimentary to form into metamorphic rocks?
Pressure and heat.
These rocks form from layers of materials that settle and are cemented together by pressure.?

Can metamorphic rocks melt to form sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary is formed by compression. Metamorphic is created by heat and pressure. Sedimentary can be melted to create metamorphic.

Sedimentary rocks
What can happento a sedimentary rock once it is formed?
Sedimentary rocks can be eroded into sediments and form sedimentary rocks again, they can melt and become igneous rocks, and they can undergo extreme heat and pressure and become metamorphic rocks.

What 2 things are applied to igneous or sedimentary rocks that make metamorphic rocks form?
Heat and pressure!!
Igneous and sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat They will most likely form?
Metamorphic rocks.
Does sedimentary rock form igneous rock?
Yes it can form an igneous rocks as because of pressure it may melt and form into igneous rocks.
