Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sedimentary rocks can transform into metamorphic rocks through processes such as regional or contact metamorphism, where they are subjected to heat and pressure without melting. This can cause changes in the mineral composition and texture of the rock, resulting in a new type of rock known as metamorphic rock.
