A sedimentary rock can be reformed by metamorphosis, melting, erosion and relithification, amongst other things. The re-formation would consist of the destruction of the original rock, which would then be reassembled. For example if there is a sandstone, which was then weathered and eroded, then buried and lithified, you would say it had been re-formed.

Types of rock in geography?

The three main types of rock in geography are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from the cooling of molten magma, sedimentary rocks are created from the accumulation and cementation of sediments, and metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are subjected to high heat and pressure. These rock types play a crucial role in the rock cycle, which describes how rocks are continuously formed, broken down, and reformed.
