What processes must a sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock?
what processes must sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock
Can sedimentary rock go directly to igneous rock?
Yes, sedimentary rock can undergo metamorphism due to heat and pressure, transforming it into metamorphic rock. If the metamorphic rock experiences further heat and melting, it can become igneous rock through processes like melting and solidification.
What type of rocks weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks?
Igneous, metamorphic, and existing sedimentary rocks can weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can break down into sediments through processes like weathering and erosion, which then may accumulate and lithify into sedimentary rocks. Existing sedimentary rocks can also be reworked and lithified to form new sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation.
What percent of rocks are metamorphic sedimentary or igneous?
Roughly 75-80% of the Earth's crust is made up of igneous rocks, 15-20% are metamorphic rocks, and 5-10% are sedimentary rocks. These percentages can vary depending on the local geology and geological processes at work.
What kind of rock is forms when heat and pressure of mountain building change sedimentary rock?
The sedimentary rock gets transformed into metamorphic rock under the heat and pressure of mountain-building processes. Examples of metamorphic rocks formed from sedimentary rocks include marble from limestone and schist from shale.

What are the processes of rock cycles?
Igneous Rock Metamorphic Rock Sedimentary Rock
What are the processes of the major rocks?
Igneous Rock Metamorphic Rock Sedimentary Rock
Does a rock go through the complete rock cycle by changing from igneous rock to sedimentary to metamorphic?
Yes, it can. However, an igneous rock can change to a metamorphic rock skipping sedimentary: the tectonic plates can push igneous rock deep into the ground, forming metamorphic rock. Sedimentary can form metamorphic, metamorphic can form magma or lava by melting and/or erupting and then turn into igneous. Igneous forms sedimentary with erosion, deposition compaction, and cementation.
What processes help change metamorphic and igneous rocks to sedimentary rocks?
The rock cycle
What type of rocks are formed by processes by the sun?
sedimentary Mr. R This is incorrect. The answer is metamorphic.
