if granite is broken down into sediment & the sediment from the granite is buried and compacted ->  granite is broken down into sediment that is buried and compacted  the formation of sedimentary rock is a sequential process, with stages of weathering, erosion, deposition,burying, compaction & if something is a stage in a process then that something is required for that process ->  forming sedimentary rock requires burying  forming sedimentary rock requires burying & in the formation of sedimentary rock , burying the sediments follows depositing the sediments ->  forming sedimentary rock requires burying sediments  forming sedimentary rock requires burying sediments & sedimentary rocks are formed by sediment / materials that settle compacting / cementing together ->  sedimentary rocks are formed by sediment being buried and compacted  sedimentary rocks are formed by sediment being buried and compacted & formation in the rock cycle means an old class of rocks changes into a new class of rocks ->  in the rock cycle, new rocks can be formed by sediment being buried and compacted  granite is broken down into sediment that is buried and compacted & in the rock cycle, new rocks can be formed by sediment being buried and compacted -> the granite will become a new rock
