Metamorphic rock "meta-morphs," or changes, from other rock forms, typically sedimentary, through a combination of heat, pressure, and of course time.
what processes must sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock
Metamorphic rock can not become igneous rock, however igneous rock can become metamorphic. This process happens over time as the rocks are shifted, compressed and heated by the Earth.
Yes, any type of rock can become a metamorphic rock through the process of heat and pressure transforming its mineral composition and texture. This includes igneous, sedimentary, and even existing metamorphic rocks.
A metamorphic rock can become a igneous rock by melting and cooling
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.

No, it doesn't.
A pre-existing, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock.
The Metamorphic Rock must undergo a process called Weathering and Erosion. Once it has become sediments it goes under another process called Cementing and Compacting. Now it has become a sedimentary rock. Trust Point me if this helped! Thanks!
Any metamorphic rock can melt and recrystallize and become an igneous rock.
If the metamorphic rock becomes hot enough it can melt.
By a process of melting and re-solidification of the melt produced..
