despite what most people think, metamorphic rocks are not formed only by igneous rocks. an example is slate, which forms from shale, a sedimentary rock

Neither. The terms intrusive and extrusive apply to igneous rocks; marble is metamorphic.
there are several ways such as heat & pressure, melting, chemical weathering, compression, compaction & cementation, but it depends on the kind of rock it is for what process it has to go through. -Cutegirl99
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a _____ texture.
Metamorphic rocks can be formed from any pre-existing rock type (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) that undergoes intense heat, pressure, or chemical changes without melting. This process causes the minerals in the rock to recrystallize and reorganize, resulting in a new metamorphic rock with different properties.
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rocks. With proper heat and pressure sedimentary and igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks.
no, the process only happens to igneous rocks
No. Only extrusive igneous rocks are volcanic.
The metamorphic processes of heat and pressure can alter the parent rock (sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic) chemically or structurally into a form of rock that can only be created under certain conditions. Metamorphic rocks are not created from sedimentation and lithification or from molten material.

False. Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks through processes such as heat, pressure, and/or chemical activity. The rock's original composition and mineralogy can change during this process.
no any type of rock can become any other or another form of itself.
By definition. A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, chemical, organic, or clastic. A metamorphic rock has undergone a change in mineral alignment or mineral composition due to heat and/or pressure. An igneous rock forms from solidification of magma via cooling.
