Sedimentary rock changes or melts into magma due to high temperature. Sedimentary rock is a type of rock that has been formed due to the deposition and solidification of sediment. It is commonly deposited in layers and often contains fossils.

Answer:

A sedimentary rock becomes magma my completely melting down under extremely high temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A sedimentary rock is the one which formed through the action of sedimentation of fossils, minerals, and earthly material by stacking up layer by layer for a long period of time.
  • This kind of rocks bear less strength and are easily subjected to degradation.
  • If a sedimentary rock comes in contact with active magma, it easily undergoes the process of melting and becomes a part of magma.
