When sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure it changes into METAMORPHIC ROCK.
Heat and pressure have the capacity to change a rock into a completely new type of rock. An igneous rock or a sedimentary rock can be changed into a metamorphic rock as a result of heat and pressure which the rock is subjected to. Metamorphic rocks are usually formed from already existing rocks that are exposed to pressure and heat.
