- metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,
- lava cools turns into igneous rock,
- igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,
- sediment turns into sedimentary rock
- sedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rock
- cycle continues.......

What type of rock does sedimentary rock turn into when it is buried?
metamorphic
Explain how a metamorphic rock can be changed into a sedimentary rock?
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.
How does a sedimentary rock that is subject to heat and pressure turn into a metamorphic rock?
It goes through the process of heat and pressure
How does a sedimentary rock turn into a metamorphic rock then into an igneous rock?
First, through metamorphism, then by melting and magmatism.
The two common factors that turn sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock are pressure and?
Temperature And Chemical
What type of rock may sedimentary rock turn into?
Metamorphic or new sedimentary rock.
What type of rock does sedimentary rock turn into when it is buried?
metamorphic
What type of rocks cannot turn into sedimentary rocks?
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.
Is breccia a sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rock?
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.
What can extreme pressure and temperature do to a sedimentary rock?
Turn it into metamorphic rock.
Can any sedimentary rock turn into any metamorphic rock?
no, it can't
What rock does sedimentary rock turn into at the ocean when erosion occurs?
metamorphic
Can igneous rock and sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock turn into magma?
no it can't
What causes to a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock that turn into an igneous rock?
Melting.

How does metamorphic rock turn to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks get turned in to metamorphic rocks by heat and pressure. They get heated by magma and convection currents, which causes the rock to change.
Can an metamorphic rock turn into either a igneous or a sedimentary rock?
yes. it can turn into either one
