How can a metamorphic rock turn into a sedimentary rock?

d) Through melting, the volcanic activity of magma and lava

Compaction is...

b) the process by which running water, wind, or ice carry away bits of broken-up rock.
c) the process by which sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it
d) the process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together
