sedimentary rocks undergo metamorphism under certain heat and pressure to give the metamorphic rocks. the affect of this formation on environment is negligible as this frames the part of rock cycle. further these metamorphic rocks melts to form magma. magma further cools and solidify to form igneous rocks.

What changes metamorphic to sedimentary?
1. Sedimentary will only change to metamorphic, not the other way around. 2. Sedimentary rock will change to metamorphic by means of heat and pressure.
How sedimentary rock can give information about past conditions is through?
Metamorphic changes
What changes are involved when mud from a lake bottom turns into a sedimentary rock then into a metamorphic rock?
The sediments on the lake bottom undergo lithification and become sedimentary rock. Further compaction, pressure, and heat turn it into metamorphic rock.
Is it possible for rocks to skip sedimentary in the rock cycle?
Yes a rock can change from metamorphic to igneous back to metamorphic the rock cycle does not go in order unless magma cools into igneous and sediment changes into sedimentary rock
Is the rock chalk metamorphic?
No it is not metamorphic, it is a sedimentary rock.
What are some changes that occur when a sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock?
To change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock, you change it by time,heat, and pressure.
How do heat and pressure change sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
How does metamorphic rock chang into a sedimentary rock?
A sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock when there is heat, pressure, and time. -over a long period of time
What changes other types of rock to metamorphic?
Heating and pressurization changes igneous and sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rock.
Which process changes metamorphic into sedimentary rock?
Erosion breaks down a metamorphic rock then the particles get deposited and get cemented or compacted together forming a sedimentary rock.
How does metamorphic form?
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
