Sedimentary rocks are formed from buildup of sediment, or particles of dirt and organic debris and things like that. Think of sedimentary rocks like the bottom of a river bed- stuff builds up on top until it becomes hard and solid- a rock, so pressure is a factor, but not necessarily heat. It is usually metamorphic rocks that involve both heat and pressure.
the metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and extreme pressure from other rocks
heat and pressure
It's the other way around: How does a sedimentary rocks turn into a metamorphic rocks? The answers is: "By heat and pressure". Metamorphic rocks never turn into sedimentary rocks.
A metaphorphic rock is a rock that undergoes changes to become a different type of rock. The rock changes due to extreme pressure wich makes them heat up, and change types.... i hope this helps :)
There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and composites. Igneous rocks are formed when sedimentary or composite rocks experience extremes of heat and pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed when smaller particles are overlaid for extended periods of time. Composite rocks are formed a mixture of elements under pressure.

rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by a four step process called Lithification (1. Erosion, 2. Deposition, 3. Cementation, 4. Compaction). Metamorphic rocks are formed by heat, time, and pressure.
Metamorphic rocks may be formed.

Metamorphic rocks are formed by the alteration of pre-existing rocks due to high heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
Sedimentary rocks are not formed solely by heat and pressure, like metamorphic rocks. Instead, they are formed through the accumulation and compaction of sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, over time. These sediments are often derived from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks.
1. Heat 2. Pressure 3. Denudation.
Shale can metamorphose through heat and pressure into slate.
