Grain size of metamorphic rock increases in the process of .?
Grain size increases in the process of recrystallization.
Which process changes the space between the grains in a metamorphic rock?
Compaction
What process changes the space between the grains in a metamorphic rock?
compaction
Which process changes ingeous rocks into metamorphic?
Answering "What process changes igneous rocks into metamorphic types?"Igneous rocks convert into metamorphic due to extreme pressure and heat, which can come from magma/lava or the movement of tectonic plates. For example, the igneous rock basalt eventually turns into the metamorphic rock granulite.
What process changes igneous rock and metamorphic rock into sedimentary rock?
Broadly weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation.

The process by which metamorphic rock changes to igneous begins with What?
It begins with melting.
Which process changes metamorphic into sedimentary rock?
Erosion breaks down a metamorphic rock then the particles get deposited and get cemented or compacted together forming a sedimentary rock.

What process changes igneous rock and metamorphic rock into sedimentary rock?
Broadly weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation.
What process has to accure for a rock to become metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rock "meta-morphs," or changes, from other rock forms, typically sedimentary, through a combination of heat, pressure, and of course time.
What changes other types of rock to metamorphic?
Heating and pressurization changes igneous and sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rock.
What are some changes that occur when a sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock?
To change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock, you change it by time,heat, and pressure.
How do the properties of a rock change when the rock changes to metamorphic?
When rock changes into metamorphic rock, its appearance, texture, crystal structure, and mineral content change.
