Metamorphic rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks that have been altered by heat, pressure, or ion exchange. Therefore, there is a wide range of metamorphic rock component material.

The minerals it contains are therefore those in equilibrium with this elevated temperature and or pressure as compared to its original component minerals.
Note however that the assemblage new minerals is dependent on and moderated by the elements comprising the rocks original mineral assemblage. In other words different metamorphic rocks are made up of different things.

What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
When old rocks are partially melted or squeezed what rocks are formed?
Metamorphic rocks
Are Sedimentary rocks are formed heat and pressure?
No, those are metamorphic rocks.
Where do metomorphic rocks form?
metamorphic rocks are formed in earths crust not on the surface
What type of rocks are metamorphic rocks formed from?
Any rock can become a metamorphic rock. To become a metamorphic rock the rock must undergo heat and/or pressure, but not so much that the rock melts. Should the rock melt it would become an igneous rock.
Are metamorphic rocks naturally formed?
Metamorphic rocks are naturally formed. they are formed from natural changes that happen to other rocks.
Are metamorphic rocks only formed by igneous rocks?
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
What rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks?
the metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and extreme pressure from other rocks
What kind of rock does a metamorphic rock start as?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks.
Can metamorphic rocks be formed from changes in igneous sedimentary or other metamorphic rocks?
yes
What rocks are formed when existing rocks are changed into new rocks?
metamorphic rocks.
What metamorphic rocks are formed from mudstones?
Slate,schist,gneiss are the metamorphic rock formed from mudstone.

Rock formed by heat and pressure?
Metamorphic Rock
How are metamorphic rocks formed in steps?
hello
Can metamorphic rocks be formed by solutions of minerals?
