What process can lead down to a metamorphic rock becoming a sedimentary?
Erosion. If a metamorphic rock is exposed above sea level it will erode or weather, the products from this erosion or weathering will be moved by gravity, wind or water to a sea or basin where the products will settle as a sediment. If the conditions are right the sediment will eventually become a sedimentary rock.

Are sedimentary rocks formed in many years?
Sedimentary processes are normally very slow in human terms. The process of lithification of sediments can take millions of years. Chemical sedimentary rocks, on the other hand can be created in a very short period of time even though the processes that lead to them may take much longer.
How can the collision of plates lead to the formation of sedimentary rock?
Collisions of plates cause rock particles to fall and go through the process of deposition the compaction and finally cementation where it finally becomes a sedimentary rock
