When sedimentary rocks break down and then are compacted by pressure, the resulting rock will be a metamorphic rock.
Sedimentary rocks
Pressure and heat.
Sedimentary
Heat and pressure are applied to igneous or sedimentary rocks to make metamorphic rocks form. Heat causes mineral grains to recrystallize, while pressure helps to rearrange the mineral structure within the rock.
No, sedimentary is formed by compression. Metamorphic is created by heat and pressure. Sedimentary can be melted to create metamorphic.

Sedimentary rocks
Sedimentary rocks can be eroded into sediments and form sedimentary rocks again, they can melt and become igneous rocks, and they can undergo extreme heat and pressure and become metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks through the process of heat and pressure, but they are more commonly associated with forming from existing metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks can indirectly contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks by heating up and altering surrounding rocks, leading to the formation of new metamorphic rocks.
Yes sedimentary rocks form from erosion, consolidation, and cementation of old rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from changes to an existing rock through a mineralogical change within brought on primarily by heat and to some extent by pressure.
The three types of rocks involved in the rock cycle are igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the solidification of molten magma, sedimentary rocks form from the deposition and lithification of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from pre-existing rocks that are subjected to high heat and pressure.
Pressure and heat.
Sedimentary
Yes it can form an igneous rocks as because of pressure it may melt and form into igneous rocks.
Sedimentary rocks that form through the process of weathering, erosion, and compaction are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate. These rocks are made up of fragments of pre-existing rocks that have been transported and deposited.
