If buried deep enough in the earth, metamorphic.
It typically takes millions of years for sediment to be buried, compacted, and cemented into sedimentary rock. The exact timeframe can vary based on factors such as the type of sediment and geological conditions.
Yes. In the rock cycle, any sedimentary rock can be transformed into a metamorphic rock due to deep burial where the rock is changed by the earth's high temperature and pressure, an exposure to a plutonic intrusion, where rocks such as granite are formed, or any other process where heat and pressure alter the composition, appearance, and classification of a rock. An igneous rock can turn into a metamorphic rock or a sedimentary rock. A metamorphic rock can turn into an igneous rock or a sedimentary rock, and a sedimentary rock can turn into an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock.
Any type of rock can turn into sedimentary rock through the process of weathering and erosion. This involves the breaking down of existing rocks into sediments, which are then compacted and cemented together to form new sedimentary rock.
It depends how deep it is buried. If it is just covered with more and more sediment, it will compact and cement to become sedimentary rock. If it is buried to the point where it gets into the mantle or a comparable area, it can become melted into an igneous rock or baked and altered into a metamorphic rock.
Sedimentary rocks are rocks that are formed by layers of different things compacting very tightly. These layers can have a lot of different things in them, like fossils. So, sedimentary rocks are partially made up of fossils.
metamorphic
yes it can be buried so deep it could turn into a metamorphic rock, or it could get buried next to a volcano and be molded into an igneous rock.
No rock. Any rock can turn into sedimentary rock, such as granite (igneous rock) and slate (metamorphic rock). Even sedimentary rock can turn into other sedimentary rock.
Metamorphic or new sedimentary rock.
Sandstone is sedimentary itself.

Yes! The process of weathering can "break down" a sedimentary rock and turn it back into a sediment.
It can't unless you mean it gets more layered.
