How does a sedimentary rock become a metamorphic rock?

Sedimentary rock can be metamorphosed by: a) exposure to heat by close proximity to a heat source such as a plutonic intrusion; b) from deep burial pressures; c) from directed pressure and heat from mountain building processes; d) chemical changes from exposure to heated fluids, the fluids heated by a plutonic intrusion. Metamorphism of sedimentary rocks can result in a realignment of mineral constituents, recrystallization, or new chemical compositions.

The three types of rocks—igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic—are all subject to processes that change one rock type into another. The images below show several types of rocks undergoing these processes. Just as evaporation and precipitation are processes that move water through the water cycle, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock-forming processes move rocks through the rock cycle.

In this investigation, you’ll examine a detailed example of a rock traveling through the rock cycle.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
