It can be changed by being broken down in the weathering process just like all rocks. The resulting sediment can then be lithified to for a sedimentary rock.
When sedimentary rock is changed by heat and pressure, it forms metamorphic rock. This process, known as metamorphism, alters the mineral composition, texture, and structure of the original sedimentary rock. Some common examples of metamorphic rocks formed from sedimentary rocks include marble from limestone and slate from shale.
When sedimentary rock is changed by heat and pressure, it forms metamorphic rock. This process is known as metamorphism, where the existing rock undergoes changes in mineral composition and texture without melting.
All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.
Metamorphic rocks are rocks which have changed from one form to another due to intense heat or pressure. Any rock (sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous) can be changed into a metamorphic rock.
No, clastic sedimentary rock with very large particles is not metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock is formed from existing rock that has been changed by heat and pressure. Clastic sedimentary rock, on the other hand, is formed from the accumulation and cementation of broken rock fragments.
metamorphic rock
Any rock, be it igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic, can be changed into a metamorphic rock through increased pressure and/or temperature.
through erosion and cementation
A metamorphic rock.
All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.
All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.
It's the other way around: How does a sedimentary rocks turn into a metamorphic rocks? The answers is: "By heat and pressure". Metamorphic rocks never turn into sedimentary rocks.

an igneous or sedimentary rock that is changed by heat or pressure
When sedimentary rock is changed by heat and pressure, it forms metamorphic rock. This process is known as metamorphism, where the existing rock undergoes changes in mineral composition and texture without melting.
Sedimentary rock can be changed into metamorphic rock through the application of heat and pressure. This process typically occurs deep within the Earth's crust, where existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures that cause them to recrystallize and form new minerals.
Igneous rock can weather and become sedimentary rock . Metamorphic rock can be melted in a volcano and become igneous rock. Igneous rock and sedimentary rock can be heated and pressurized to form metamorphic rock.
