X Welcome to Edgen. y for Stude G google cla ssroom- Save Larger rocks are slowly eroded away by the elements on Earth. Question 3 A metamorphic rock can also be thought of as a rock that changes. What causes the rock to change? Layers of sediment building up over time and pressing down, forming rock. Rain, wind, freezing, thawing, and plant roots growing cause the rock to erode away, leaving behind sediments. Extreme heat and pressure from deep within Earth cause changes to the rock's appearance, structur and composition. The rock slowly changes into a new rock over time.
