What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
What can happen to a rock once its form?
it can turn into molten rock it can be heated and pressured and turn into metamorphic it can weather and turn to sediments
What can happen to a sedimentary rock once it's formed?
it can turn into molten rock it can be heated and pressured and turn into metamorphic it can weather and turn to sediments
What would happen to a boulder after many years that had fallen into a river?

What are two things that cold happen to a metamorphic rock to continue the rock cycle?
It could be weathered forming sediments, or it could be subducted at a plate margin, melt and form magma.
Why are igneous rock called a primary or a parent rock?
The reason Igneous rocks are called primary or parent rocks are first, because they are made naturally by cooling lava. Second because Igneous rock can make Metamorphic or Sedimentary rock. This change or "parenting " can happen when Igneous rocks are broken down into sediments to create Sedimentary rocks, or when it is under high pressure and temperature to create Metamorphic rocks.
When did Metamorphic Force happen?
Metamorphic Force happened in 1993.
What would happen to large sediments if you were to continue moving?
if you were to continue moving the bottle for a long time what would happen to the large sediments?
What are two things that could happen to a metamorphic rock to continue the rock cycle?
Metamorphic rocks can melt into magma and then undergo cooling and crystallization to become an igneous rock. Or, they can undergo weathering and erosion into sediments and then lithify to become sedimentary rocks. +++ They can melt and become magma only if subducted - a process normally confined to the sea-floor plate.
What happen to a metamorphic rock in the rock cycle?
it form
What is the process of settling out and grading of sediments?
The process of settling out and grading of sediments is known out deposition. This will commonly happen after erosion takes place.
