How can sedimentry rock become metamorphic rock?

Answer 1

Well, first before the sediment can become to a metamorphic rock, it has to create into a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock, Then the rocks go under the ground and is under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change.

Answer 2

Like any other rock, a metamorphic rock exposed at the surface will likely be weathered and eroded, with the broken down bits becoming sediment. The sediment can then be buried and become sedimentary rock.

Answer 3

When sedimentary rock undergoes enough heat and pressure, it becomes metamorphic rock. A classic example of this is when shale becomes slate.

Answer 4

Extreme heat and pressure cause the transition.

Answer 5

sedimentary rock has to re-melt and re form in a different position.

Answer 6

two simple words: heat and pressure.

Answer 7

it is by the heat

Answer 8

A whole lot of heat and pressure.
