Question - Granite and sandstone are two different kinds of rocks. Something has to happen in order for one type of rock

Granite and sandstone are two different kinds of rocks. Something has to happen in order for one type of rock to turn into another type. Use your knowledge of the rock cycle to explain how granite might change into sandstone.

ANSWER:
Granite can be weathered down into sediments. The sediment can keep being broken down into very small pieces of sediment/sand. The sand then can be compacted and cemented into sedimentary sandstone.
