How can sedimentry rock become metamorphic rock?
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.

Lithified detritus forms which kind of sedimentary rock?
When rock sediment is lithified, a sedimentary rock is formed. The two processes involved in lithification are compaction and cementation.
What clastic sedimentary rock is made from finest sediment?
Metamorphic rock
How can sedimentary rock becomes a metamorphic rock?
When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock
What processes must a sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock?

How does metamorphic turns to sedemantary?
Sedimentary rock is rock that has been worn away and turned into sediment such as sand. That sediment is then compacted together and turned into rock. So metamorphic rock wears away and compacts into sedimentary rock
What rock forms when sediment is squezed into layers by the weight of the rock above it?
Metamorphic rock.
Does metamorphic rock form when sediment is squeezed by the weight of the rock above it?
medamorphic rock
The type rock made of harden sediment is called?
