What are the processes that turn a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?

Cooling and hardening

Compacting and cementation

Heat and pressure

These rocks are igneous rocks. They are created when magma or lava cools and hardens. When the lava cools very quickly, the rocks appear glass-like and shiny. When the lava cools slowly, gas bubbles are trapped inside leaving tiny holes.

Make some observations about the rocks.

The following rocks are called sedimentary rocks. After sediment is eroded away through weathering and erosion, it ends up on the ground or bottom of the ocean. The sediment is then compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock. Fossils are often found in this type of rock.

Make some observations about the rocks.

These are metamorphic rocks. They are created deep within the Earth by lots of heat and pressure over a long period of time. They can have ribbon-like layers with straight or wavy lines. Crystals are sometimes present.
