Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When heat and pressure are applied to a sedimentary rock, its chemical and physical properties change, and it transforms into a metamorphic rock. The process of transformation is called metamorphism. The sedimentary rock's original texture, including sedimentary structures, such as bedding and fossils, is often lost during the metamorphic process, and a new set of minerals and textures form.
