In the sedimentary part.
Heat and pressure are the two factors in the rock cycle that can change sandstone to quartzite. Sandstone is subjected to high temperatures and pressure during the metamorphic process, causing the sand grains to recrystallize and cement together, forming quartzite.
Sandstone can be metamorphosed into quartzite. Heat and pressure bake the sandstone and it becomes extremely hard.
Compressed and cemented sand is called sandstone.
Sandstone cannot freeze as it is already a solid. Sometimes rainwater gets into the pores of a rock like sandstone. When the water freezes it expands and pushes on the rock. Then the water melts, and the whole cycle can be repeated over and over, eventually causing the rock to crumble. This is called freeze-thaw weathering.
A fossil is the preserved remains of an animal, plant or other organism while sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock. There is a fairly distinct difference between the two, thus sandstone is not a fossil. Sandstone may have fossil inclusions, but we are talking about two different things regarding fossils and sandstone.
erosion can effect the rock cycle by turning igneouse and metamorphic rocks into sediments and eventualy turn into a sedimentary rock such as sandstone
Quartzite is sandstone (sedimentary rock) that has metamorphosed from heat and pressure.
