Write a summary of the pathways rocks can take to become sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks.

When a certain type of rock, specifically, an igneous rock, is deeper into the ground, and it is under the influence of high temperatures and pressures, it will start to change its molecular structure over time. In addition to the high temperature and pressure, chemical influences are also very important, so the the rock will gradually turn into a metamorphic rock.

Depending on the type of influences, and their intensity as well, one type of rock can evolve into multiple different types of metamorphic rocks.
