weathering and erosion and deposition this answer is not wrong and its good

For metamorphic rock to change into sedimentary rock, it must undergo weathering and erosion to break down its minerals into sediments. These sediments are then transported, deposited, and lithified through processes like compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rock.

In order to form magma what must happen to sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rocks?
Heat must melt the sedimentary,metamorphic,or igneous and it will turn to magma
Is it possible for rocks to skip sedimentary in the rock cycle?
Yes a rock can change from metamorphic to igneous back to metamorphic the rock cycle does not go in order unless magma cools into igneous and sediment changes into sedimentary rock
What coal is sedimentary rock?
All coal is metamorphic and sedimentary rock. When coal forms it is made out of ancient organic material, and over a long period of time the coal is buried under sediments and water. (That part makes it sedimentary) Over time in order to make the coal we know today heat and pressure (That is what makes it metamorphic) makes the organic material turn hard and solid to become coal.
What is the correct order of the processes responsible for the formation of sedimentary rocks?
In clastic (or detrital) sedimentary rock:Weathering of an existing body of igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rock by natural mechanical or chemical means.Erosion of the weathered particles by wind, water, ice, and gravity.Deposition of the particles after transportation.Compaction of the particles by the weight of overlying sediments.Cementation of the particles by mineral precipitation from surrounding fluids.

Does an igneous rock have to go through the sedimentary process in order to become metamorphic?
No, it doesn't.

What are 3 types of rocks in the rock cycle?
The 3 types of rocks are: 1. Igneous. 2. Sedimentary. 3. Metamorphic. Normally in that order.
Which type of rock is formed from tiny particles of sand shells pebbles?
No, in order to be a metamorphic rock, it has to be a rock that undergoes extreme heat and pressure. What you're describing is the formation of a sedimentary rock called a limestone.

How does metamorphic rock change to sedimentary rock and then to igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock must first turn into sediment through uplift, weathering, erosion and deposition before the sediments can undergo lithification and become sedimentary rock. Further compaction, pressure, and heat can turn it into metamorphic rock. In order to change into igneous rock it would need to be buried so deep in the earth that the heat partially melts the metamorphic rock forming magma. Then the magma would need to ascend, cool, and undergo recrystallization to form igneous rock.
