sediments are transferred into sedimentay rocks by means of force and pressure.Then sedimentary rocks are tarnsferred into metamorphic rocks by means of weathering force pressure and soil erosion.But It need a long time in able to be transferred.I think it needs 10 years-a decade

Sedimentary rocks are laid down under water, so to "transfer" them requires uplift and erosion. This is accomplished by orogeny or mountain building, followed by wind and water working on the mountains to wear them down again. Any entry level physical or historical geology book will explain the rock cycle, and so will this site with a really neat rock cycle picture: http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/msese/earthsysflr/rock.html
