What happens to a rock when its weathered?
it turns to sediment
What happens to rock after it breaks down?
it turns into sediment
How can a metamorphic rock turn into sedimentary rock and then back to metamorphic?

Could a metamorphic rock turn into a sedimentry rock and then back to metamorphic?
yes eventually but there are steps:metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......
What happens to metamorphic rock when it goes through erosion?
it turns into sediment
How does metamorphic turns to sedemantary?
Sedimentary rock is rock that has been worn away and turned into sediment such as sand. That sediment is then compacted together and turned into rock. So metamorphic rock wears away and compacts into sedimentary rock
When sediment turns into sedimentary rock does sedimentary rock turn back to sediment?
Sedimentary rock can be broken down into sediment through processes like weathering, erosion, and transportation. However, this process takes a very long time and is influenced by various factors such as temperature, pressure, and geological conditions. It is a natural cycle where sediment can be transformed into sedimentary rock and then back into sediment over millions of years.
What does sediment form into when it falls to the sea bed?
when sediment falls into the sea it forms into sedimentary rock which then turns into metamorphic rock and back again it comes from the volcanoes it plays a major role in the rock cycle
What process turns igneous rock to sediment?
The process that turns igneous rock into sediment is called weathering and erosion. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller particles through physical, chemical, or biological processes, while erosion transports these particles away from their original location. Over time, these sediments can accumulate and may eventually undergo lithification to form sedimentary rock.
What are settled fragments of rock called?
when rock fragments or sand are settled (usually in water) it compresses and turns into a sedimentary rock.You can see all the different layers due to different densities.
How is sediment?
The sediment transport by the rock cycle
The ease with which water flows through the open spaces in a rock or sediment indicates the what of the rock or sediment?
The ease with which water flows through the open spaces in a rock or sediment indicates the permeability of the rock or sediment. Permeability refers to the ability of fluids to flow through the rock or sediment. A more permeable rock or sediment will have higher porosity and allow for better fluid flow.
