Well question is not precise , but it could be : Fossil, petrified wood sand (into a sand stone)..... a lot of stuff organic and inorganic in earth geological history was buried and changed by variousprocesses in to a rock or mineral!!

What kind of sedimentary rock is formed when sediment is buried compacted and cemented?
Clastic or bioclastic sedimentary rock is formed in this manner.
Describe what happens to sediment as it is changed to sedimentary rock?
It is compacted and cemented by minerals.
A kind of sedimentary rock formed from plant material over a long period of time is?
The answer is coal, because it is made up of dead plants that are buried, then are chemically changed by microorganisms then compacted over millions of years.

How can sedimentary rock be changed into a new sedimentary rock?
When a sedimentary rock is weathered or eroded, it becomes sediments, or small pieces of rock. Then the sediments are compacted together and they are formed into a new sedimentary rock. I hope my answer was helpful to you.
How can a piece of granite can be changed from an igneous rock to a sedimatery rock and then to a metaphoric?
A piece of granite can be changed from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock, and then to a metamorphic rock as it gets buried deeper within the Earth's crust.
How a metamorphic rock can be changed into a sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock can be broken down in the weathering process, the same as any other type of rock. Once the weathered material is deposited, compacted, and lithified (turned to rock), it becomes a sedimentary rock.
Rock that has changed from one type of rock to another type of rock is called?
It can be any type of rock. If heat and pressure deep in the Earth changed it, it is a metamorphic rock. If sediments of sand or other rocks compacted/cemented together, it's a sedimentary rock. If magma from a volcano cools, (on the outside of a volcano) it's an igneous rock.
What is rock that are compacted and cemented together to form a solid rock?
sedimentary rock.
How can mudstone be changed into a metamorphic rock?
It can be buried, and huge pressures and temperatures can change them into metamorphic rocks.
Where does rock come from tell the answer?
Rock is soil compacted and changed physically and chemically over thousands of years. The changes are due to temperature, pressure and various chemicals in the area that process is taking place.
