When a sedimentary rock is weathered or eroded, it becomes sediments, or small pieces of rock. Then the sediments are compacted together and they are formed into a new sedimentary rock.

Is it possible for a sedimentary rock to be changed to become a new sedimentary rock?

Yes, sedimentary rocks can undergo processes such as compaction, cementation, and recrystallization to become a new sedimentary rock. These processes can alter the original sedimentary rock's texture, composition, and appearance without undergoing metamorphism.


How can a metamorphic rock be changed into a sedimentary?

A metamorphic rock can be changed into a sedimentary rock through the process of weathering and erosion. This involves the breakdown of the existing rock into sediment particles, which are then transported and deposited in layers. Over time, these layers of sediment can become compacted and cemented together to form a new sedimentary rock.


What types of rock can be changed to metamorphic rock?

All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.


What type of rock can be changed to metamorphic rock?

All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.


When a sedimentary rock melts what type of rock forms?

Sedimentary rock can be changed into igneous rock by undergoing melting and then solidification.


What rock can be changed directly into with the application of heat and pressure?

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.


Is sediment changed into sedimentary rock?

Yes.


Can Metamorphic Rock Be Changed Into Sedimentary Rock?

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.
