Metamorphic rocks are formed by rocks sedimentary or igneous that change their form under intense heat and or pressure.

How can sedimentary rock becomes a metamorphic rock?

When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock


How does metamorphic turns to sedemantary?

Sedimentary rock is rock that has been worn away and turned into sediment such as sand. That sediment is then compacted together and turned into rock. So metamorphic rock wears away and compacts into sedimentary rock


What rock forms when sediment is squezed into layers by the weight of the rock above it?

Metamorphic rock.


How can a metamorphic rock change into another rock?

Yes. A metamorphic rock can be metamorphosed into a higher-grade metamorphic rock. It can be weather into sediment and re-lithified into a sedimentary rock, or it can melt then solidify to become an igneous rock.


What processes can transform metamorphic rock into sediment?

weathering and erosion


How the metamorphic rock can become sediment rock?

The Metamorphic Rock must undergo a process called Weathering and Erosion. Once it has become sediments it goes under another process called Cementing and Compacting. Now it has become a sedimentary rock. Trust Point me if this helped! Thanks!


Could a metamorphic rock turn into a sedimentry rock and then back to metamorphic?

yes eventually but there are steps:metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......


What happens to metamorphic rock when it goes through erosion?

it turns into sediment


What became compressed to form limestone?

Sediment. Sediment is eroded igneous, metamorphic or other sedimentary rock. This is all part of the rock cycle.


How metamorphic rock becomes sediment?

Well, first before the sediment can become to a metamorphic rock, it has to create into a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock, Then the rocks go under the ground and is under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change.
