What are contour lines.
Metamorphic rocks must go through melting and ________ to turn into an igneous rock.
What is cooling/solidifying.

How would sediments turn into a sedimentary rock and then turn back into sediments
They would have to go through compaction and cementation and then they would have to go through weathering and erosion to turn back into sedimentary
