If the original rock is eroded or broken away and then returned to sedimentary-forming conditions, it will form another sedimentary.

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.


If sedimentary rock melt and then cool they can form what type of rock?

If sedimentary rock melts and then cools, it can form igneous rock. This process involves the melting of the sedimentary rock due to high temperature and pressure, which leads to the formation of new igneous rock as it cools and solidifies.


How can sedimentary rock form another rock?

Sedimentary rock can form another rock by being tossed and thrown into the water it takes about maybe 10 years for Sedimentary rock to form another rock.


Pieces of metamorphic rock and pieces of sedimentary rock stick together to form a new rock?

clastic


Can sedimentary rock form directly from metamorphic rock?

Yes, sedimentary rock can form from metamorphic rock through a process called retrograde metamorphism. In this process, metamorphic rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion to form sediment, which can then be compacted and cemented to form new sedimentary rock.


What three things can happen to a sedimentary rock in the rock cycle?

A sedimentary rock can undergo metamorphism to form a metamorphic rock, can be weathered and eroded into sediment, or can be buried deep in the Earth to undergo lithification to form a new sedimentary rock.


How does glaciers and rivers form new rocks?

Glaciers and rivers transport eroded rock material (sediment), that can form new sedimentary rock after deposition.


What kinds of rock can form sedimentary rock?

anything can form sedimentary rock; it is caused by the erosion of sediment over time


Weathered rock materials are pressed and cemented to form?

That forms sedimentary rock.


How might a sedimentary rock become another sedimentary rock without first changing into another rock type?

A sedimentary rock can become another sedimentary rock through the process of diagenesis. This involves the compaction and cementation of existing sedimentary rocks to form a new rock without going through a different rock type. This can happen through the addition of more sediment layers or changes in environmental conditions.


What kind of rock can be broken into fragments that may later form sedimentary rock?

Any rock can be broken up and later form a sedimentary rock.


Can metamorphic rock form from sedimentary rocks?

Yes. A sedimentary rock, over time, can become buried under layers of newer rock. The heat and pressure from being in between layers of old and new rock, will change it from sedimentary to metamorphic.
