Want this question answered?
When sedimentary rocks break down and then are compacted by pressure, the resulting rock will be a metamorphic rock.

sedimentary rock.
In order to become a sedimentary rock a rock must be broken down or eroded by weathering. The sediments of the rock then go through the lithification process where they are cemented and compacted together forming a sedimentary rock.
This is Shale, a Sedimentary rock.
It is called sedimentary rock.

Weathering of existing rock is the first step in the formation of most sedimentary rock, providing the sediment which will eventually be eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented together.
metamorphic rocks get compacted and cemented together until it becomes sedimentary rocks. they can also get crystallized underwater into sedimentary rock. hope you find this helpful!!! :)when a rock is put under a lot of heat and pressure it morphs into a sedimentary rock.
By erosion and sedimentation It has to go to the surface, then it is weathered into sediments, then it is eroded to somewhere else and depostied there. Then is is compacted (pushed together by pressure) and cemented (glued) together.
