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.
Metamorphic rock can change into igneous rock through melting and solidification, or into sedimentary rock through weathering, erosion, and lithification.
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.
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.
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 thing's change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock
a rock that cAN CHANGE TO IGNEOUS, METAMORPHIC, AND SEDIMENTARY
To change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock, you change it by time,heat, and pressure.
Metamorphic rock
erosion
You can't.
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
Sedimentary rocks change to metamorphic the same way any other rock would: through heat and pressure.
I think pressure
Igneous Rock
Heat and pressure change the rock into a metamorphic rock
By extreme heat and pressure.
