Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The three processes that transform metamorphic and sedimentary rock into sediment are weathering, erosion, and dissolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sediment becomes a sedimentary rock through a process known as lithification. Lithification begins when rocks are buried and become compacted. The pores of the rock then become filled with cement, and certain minerals begin to recrystallize.
