It all depends on the cycle of how it works.. 1st it would need to cause sediments by weathering + erosion. 2nd It would also need compaction and cementation to cause pressure. 3rd you have a sedimentary rock!!

What type of rock can become sedimentary?

Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become 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.

Can a metamorphic rock break in half then one half turns into a igneous rock and the other into a sedimentary rock?

The only way a metamorphic rock can become a sedimentary rock is if it is eroded and the pieces settle in a body of water and eventually become sedimentary rock. A whole piece of metamorphic rock is never going to become , by itself, a piece of sedimentary rock.


What is required to change an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?

Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.


Can sedimentary rock change into sediments?

Absolutely. And eventually they can become a part of a new sedimentary rock.
