Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

For sand to eventually become metamorphic rock, it must undergo the processes of burial, where it is buried under layers of sediment, and heat and pressure, where it is subjected to high temperatures and pressure deep within the Earth's crust, causing the sand grains to recrystallize and form a new rock.

To become metamorphic rock, sand must undergo the processes of heat and pressure. Heat causes the grains of sand to recrystallize and the pressure compacts the grains together, transforming the sand into a solid, durable rock.
