In 1 to 2 sentences identify and describe the process that must happen for sand to eventually become metamorphic rock

Answer 1

For sand to eventually become metamorphic rock, it first undergoes compaction and lithification to form sandstone. This sedimentary rock is then subjected to intense heat and pressure, usually due to tectonic forces or deep burial, causing its mineral structure to change and transform into a metamorphic rock, such as quartzite.
