The two processes resulting from sedimentary into metamorphic rock are known as contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism. Regional metamorphism most notably involves two tectonic plates colliding, while contact metamorphism occurs due to the intrusion of magma.

What processes change igneous rock into metamorphic rock?
Directional pressure and high temperatures are two factors that could cause an igneous rock to metamorphose. Processes that lead to these factors could be tectonic plate movements, depth of burial, or proximity to an intrusive body.
What two processes labeled in the rock cycle must occur in order to change any rock into an igneous rocks?
Heat and pressure.
Lithified detritus forms which kind of sedimentary rock?
When rock sediment is lithified, a sedimentary rock is formed. The two processes involved in lithification are compaction and cementation.
What is basalt sedimentary ignous or metamorphic?
actually, it truly depends on the type of rock the metamorphic rock formed from. in other words, if it formed from a rock that held basalt in it, the rock has basalt in it. remember that a metamorphic rock can be formed by more than two different types of rock (such as metamorphic quartz, slate, "fool's gold", plus granite). it does not matter which class the metamorphic rock formed from (but if a m. rock such as m. quartz, there is more likely a chance of finding a trace of basalt), as long as it formed from two different class of rock (this does not always apply, for there can be a metamorphic rock made from two or more metamorphic rocks). i would get into geodes...... but that's another answer. :)
What two pathways in the rock cycle could igneous rock take to become metamorphic rock?
geometry

What two geological processes are involved in changing sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock?
The two processes resulting from sedimentary into metamorphic rock are known as contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism. Regional metamorphism most notably involves two tectonic plates colliding, while contact metamorphism occurs due to the intrusion of magma.
What two things can change any rock into a metamorphic rock?
Intense heat and pressure.
What are the two types metamorphic rock?
The two groups of metamorphic rock are foliated and nonfoliated. Metamorphic rocks can also be classified as contact and regional.
Is metamorphic rock sedimentary?
No, metamorphic rock is not sedimentary; those are two different types.
What can change a igneous rock into a metamorphic rock?
The process that can change an igneous rock into a metamorphic rock is called metamorphism. This occurs when the igneous rock is subjected to high temperatures and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. These conditions cause the minerals in the rock to recrystallize and realign, forming a new metamorphic rock with different physical and chemical properties.
What are the two processes that result in a metamorphic rock?
For metamorphic rock to change into igneous rock, it must first melt. Once molten, if its liquid constituents cool and solidify, it has become an igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can become molten by exposure to heat and pressure from depth of burial and compression through tectonic plate subduction, or from close proximity to a magmatic heat source.The metamorphic rock could also become exposed to weathering, erosion, and subsequent deposition, compaction and cementation which would lead to the formation of sedimentary rock. Once again, the sedimentary rock could become molten by exposure to heat and pressure from depth of burial through tectonic plate subduction, or from close proximity to a magmatic heat source. Once molten, if its liquid constituents cool and solidify, it has become an igneous rock.Igneous or sedimentary rock
What two things deep beneath the earth's surface can change any rock into a metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure in the earths crust with little if any chemical change.
What is the difference between the two types of metamorphic rocks?
how is metamorphic rock different than intrusive rock
Can metamorphic rock change into metamorphic rock?
Many ways, really. For example, a continental plate may be submerging underneath another continental plate (a boundary interaction often associated with volcanoes), and in the process, that continental plate that is being submerged, often the ocean floor, changes into metamorphic rock, and if subjected to enough pressure and heat, may become igneous. Or, if two continental plates collide where one plate used to be ocean floor, such as with the Himalayan Mountains, the two plates would jam together. In between these plates, there may be enough heat and pressure to change the sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock.
