The Rock Cycle.
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.
No. A similar rock could be formed, but some characteristics would be altered.
Yes, it is possible for a rock to be derived from clay. Clay is a type of sedimentary rock that forms from the weathering and erosion of rocks over long periods of time. Through processes like compaction and cementation, clay can become hardened and turn into a new type of rock.

rocks can change from one type of rock to another, or not change at all
Yes, it is possible for a rock to be derived from clay. Clay is a type of sedimentary rock that forms from the weathering and erosion of rocks over long periods of time. Through processes like compaction and cementation, clay can become hardened and turn into a new type of rock.
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.
Any rock can undergo metamorphism, be it sedimentary, igneous or even the transformation of one type of metamorphic rock to another.
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
no any type of rock can become any other or another form of itself.
metamorphosis
It becomes igneous rock
no any type of rock can become any other or another form of itself.
Metamorphic rock can turn into another type of rock through processes like weathering and erosion, which break down the rock into sediment. This sediment can then undergo compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rock, or melt and cool to form igneous rock through processes like metamorphism.
