The sedimentary rock could, for instance, be found on a mountain and be crushed to dust by a huge ice glacier moving over it. The resulting dusty (or bigger) rock particles much later reach the lower end of the glacier and are washed into a lake or into the ocean where they sink to the bottom.

Wait, oh, maybe half a million years, and the particles that sank to the bottom might turn into another sedimentary rock, altogether.

How does the sedimentary rocks change into other types of rocks?

by the rock cycle :)


How do a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock?

sedimentary rocks change the same way any other rock would: heat and pressure


How do sedimentary rock change metamorphic?

Sedimentary rocks change to metamorphic the same way any other rock would: through heat and pressure.


What is required to change an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?

Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.


What are other kinds of rocks?

other kinds of rocks are sedimentary rock or igneous rock


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.


Can sedimentary rocks come from other sedimentary rocks?

Yes, through the process of erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification, sediments from existing sedimentary rocks can be weathered and broken down to form new sedimentary rocks. The cycle of sedimentary rock formation can involve the breakdown and reformation of older sedimentary rocks.


What type of rock is formed from particles or dissolved minerals from previously existing rocks?

The rock described would be a clastic sedimentary rock.


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.


How was sedimentary rock formed?

SEDIMENTARY ROCK FORMATION, begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface they begin the long but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock.


What the rock cycle describe?

The rock cycle describes how rocks are formed, and how they change to sedimentary rock, to metamorphic rock, to magma, to igneous rock, to sediment, and back to sedimentary rock.


What types of rocks can turn into sedimentary rocks?

the type of rock that change into sedimentary rock is igneous rock.it under go weathering to form sediments,sediments under go lithification to Ford sedimentary rocks
