Weathered material that is deposited and protected from erosion can undergo processes like compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rocks. Over time, these rocks may be further transformed through heat and pressure to become metamorphic rocks. Alternatively, they can be uplifted and exposed to weathering and erosion again, starting the cycle anew.
