What make up and sedimentary metamorphic and igneous?
sedimentary, erosion products and/or organic matter that has become glued together over time into rockmetamorphic, sedimentary or igneous rock that has been changed in form by very high temperature and pressure while deep undergroundigneous, solidified by cooling from molten rock
An example of a plutonic rock is?
yes. because anything you can feel is an example of matter
What type of rock is formed next when extrusive igneous rock is broken down?
A sedimentary rock is formed next, through the accumulation of the weathered and disintegrated matter from the igneous rock.
What are three ways sedimentary rock forms?
Three main ways and are classified accordingly. Igneous rocks form from molten material called magma.
From what is metamorphic rock made?
Metamorphic rocks are made from the action of heat, stress, and pressure on pre-existing rocks, of either an igneous, or a sedimentary origin. Also, sometimes a metamorphic rock can be resculpted to form another metamorphic rock.

What is to shift from one form to another?
it's conversion
How can sedimentary and igneous rocks be formed in to metamorphic rocks?
No matter what kinds of rocks they are they can be changed into any other kind of rock. Sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks can become metamorphic rocks with either contact or regional metamorphism. This means that either the rocks have been in contact with or close to high heat and high pressure that changes the rock.
Are metamorphic rocks more dense than sedimentary or igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are denser than sedimentary rocks because the particles and materials making up the igneous rock are more closely packed and compacted making more matter able to fit into a tiny area of its structures.
What is the process by which new rock forms from old rocks?
There are several ways by which old rocks can become "new" rocks, all of which are described by the rock cycle. A rock, no matter what class it falls under, can become igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary. When melted and then re-cooled, a rock become igneous. When exposed to very high temperature and pressure, the rock becomes metamorphic. When weather or eroded by wind, water, etc., and then lithified (cemented together), the rock becomes sedimentary. Again, any rock can go from one class to the other, or in some cases become a new rock of the same class.
How can a rock be made of igneous and sedimentary components at the same time?
Different source areas came together in one place. Still considered sedimentary, because it's composed of sediments. Doesn't matter what the composition is, could be metamorphic in there too.

Would you find a well preserved dinosaur bone in a metamorphic rock?
Though in science you should never say something is not possible, I doubt it. Metamorphic rocks have been pressurized so much that they become a lot smaller than the original sedimentary or igneous rock they came from thus, destroying any evidence of a bone or anything else of that matter.
