Through weathering and erosion of the metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock, exposed to weathering processes at the surface, breaks into smaller pieces. Erosional processes transport these pieces to a place of deposition where they build up, layer on layer. Eventually the compaction caused by the weight of the sediments above reduces the amount of space and water between particles. In this process of rock formation known as lithification, cementing minerals are formed out of the slowly disappearing fluids, which are saturated with mineral components. Once cemented together, it is now considered sedimentary rock.
What else can I help you with?
What two things can metamorphic rock change into?
Metamorphic rock can change into igneous rock through melting and solidification, or into sedimentary rock through weathering, erosion, and lithification.
Can sedimentary rock form directly from metamorphic rock?
Yes, sedimentary rock can form from metamorphic rock through a process called retrograde metamorphism. In this process, metamorphic rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion to form sediment, which can then be compacted and cemented to form new sedimentary rock.
Who is correct a metamorphic rock is formed from a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock can form from an igneous rock?
A metamorphic rock can form from either a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock. When subjected to high heat and pressure, existing rocks can recrystallize and change into new types of rocks, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
What is a changed rock in 2 words?
metamorphic rock
Whats the process of change sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
Sedimentary rock can be transformed into metamorphic rock through the process of metamorphism, which involves high temperature and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. This causes the minerals in the sedimentary rock to recrystallize and reorganize, resulting in the formation of a new rock with different properties. The original sedimentary layers may still be visible in the metamorphic rock, but they will have undergone significant changes.
What two things change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
What two thing's change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock
Definition of a metamorphic rock?
a rock that cAN CHANGE TO IGNEOUS, METAMORPHIC, AND SEDIMENTARY
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.
When sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure's what does it change into?
Metamorphic rock
How does metamorphic rock change into sedimentary rock?
erosion
How do you change a metamorphic rock in to a sedimentary rock?
You can't.
How do heat and pressure change sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
How do sedimentary rock change metamorphic?
Sedimentary rocks change to metamorphic the same way any other rock would: through heat and pressure.
What can change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
I think pressure
What kind of rock can change into sedimentary or metamorphic rock?
Igneous Rock
What processes transform metamorphic rock into sedimentary rocks?
Heat and pressure change the rock into a metamorphic rock
How do you change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
By extreme heat and pressure.
