All rocks are subject to erosion and dissolution. The result is particles that are small enough to be called, dust, sand or sediment. If these particles are squeezed over long periods of time, they may 'cement' together to form a 'sedimentary' rock that has its own structure and properties. Sandstone is a common type - stone made of cemented sand.

Why cant igneous rock turn into sedimentay rock?
Actually it can - but only if it is first eroded and deposited as sediment.
Is a sediment rock?
Sediment is the stuff that settles at the bottom of a liquid (such as the bottom of a pond). It can include sand and pebbles but also dead plants and animals. If conditions are right, the sediment can dry out and turn into a sedimentary rock (a rock made from sediment). Sedimentary rocks can contain fossils of plants or animals that fell into the "muck" at the bottom of a body of water. Cool, huh?
How can a metamorphic rock turn into sedimentary rock and then back to metamorphic?
metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......
Can you find dinosaur bones in metaphoric rock?
Yes you can find it in that. John Jones
Could a metamorphic rock turn into a sedimentry rock and then back to metamorphic?
yes eventually but there are steps:metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......
How do exsting rock turn into sediments?
the rock will turn to sediment after imeanse pressure.
Can a sedimentary rock turn back into a deposit of sediment?
Yes! The process of weathering can "break down" a sedimentary rock and turn it back into a sediment.
What processes turn rock into sediment?
Weathering and erosion produces and transports sediment.
What processes turn sediment rock?
Weathering and erosion produces and transports sediment.
When sediment turns into sedimentary rock does sedimentary rock turn back to sediment?
Sedimentary rocks can turn back into sediment by a process of weathering and erosion.
What processes turn sediment into sedimentary rock?
The processes of compaction and cementation of this sediment over a long period of time turn the sediment into rock.
What process will turn an igneous rock into a sediment?
