Example of a sedimentary rock that changes into igneous rock?
When sedimentary rock such as breccia gets buried deep within the earth, it changes into metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock then can be changed into magma and reintroduced as igneous rocks, such as rhyolite or granite.
Are rocks that are changed by metamorphism more or less dense?
More. There are more molecules in the stone after it is changed.
What type of rocks can become metamorphic?
All rock types can be changed through metamorphism.
Which sedimentary rock is most likely to be changed to slate during regional metamorphism?
Shale.
What happens when sedimentary rocks are physically and chemically changed?
Metamorphism occurs and they change to metamorphic rocks
What does sandstone change to?
That depends on what happens to it. If it is sufficiently heated and compressed it will metamorphose to quartzite.
How can sandstone rock be changed into different sandstone rock?
by chemicals

Can a rock that is changed by metamorphism have crystals in parallel layers?
Yes
Are rocks that are changed by metamorphism more or less dense?
More. There are more molecules in the stone after it is changed.
The makeup of rocks is changed during?
The make up is changed when the mineral composition undergo metamorphism.
Are rocks changed by metamorphism less dense?
That depends on the rock and the type of metamorphism is underwent. Some rocks become more dense, some become less.
Sandstone and basalt can be changed by heat pressure to form?
Sedimentary rocks

Shale.
Where is the dynamic metamorphism located?
Contact metamorphism is defined as metamorphism in which the mineralogy and texture of a body of rock are changed by exposure to the pressure and extreme temperature associated with a body of intruding magma. It can either happen deep underground or at the Earth's surface.
