It's when parts of both igneous and metamorphic rocks are crushed together and then they form sedimentary rocks.
erosion
Yes, compaction is a step in the formation of sedimentary rocks within the rock cycle. It occurs when layers of sediment are gradually buried by additional sediment, resulting in the compression and consolidation of the sediments. Over time, this process leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
Weathering and erosion of existing rocks break them down into sediment, which is then transported and deposited in layers. Over time, these layers are compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rock.
Detrital sedimentary rocks are made from weathered rocks.

Erosion of igneous and metamorphic rock
erosion
The first step in making sedimentary rock is the deposition of sediments. This occurs when particles like sand, silt, and clay settle and accumulate in layers, usually in areas such as riverbeds, lakes, or ocean floors. Over time, these sediments are compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.

The first step is weathering.

The second step of the rock cycle is typically erosion and transportation, where weathering and other natural forces break down rocks into smaller pieces that are moved by water, wind, or ice to new locations. This process helps to redistribute the broken-down rock material and can lead to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
No, mudstone is a type of sedimentary rock formed from the compression and cementation of fine-grained mud and silt particles. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of pre-existing rocks due to high pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
