Metamorphic rock results from the exposure of other rock types to heat and pressure. The heat and pressure is usually provided from depth of burial, or tectonic plate interactions, but could be provided by close proximity to a magmatic intrusion.

What metamorphic rocks formed fom?
Metamorphic rocks are made by the action of heat and pressure on pre-existing rocks. e.g. Schist, Coesite, most micas.
How is metamorphic rocks organically made?
rocks pile on other rocks pushing them downward, as they reach about one eighth of the way towards the mantle the pressure and heat make metamorphic rocks
What is a metamorphic rock made of shale?
A metaphorphic rock is a rock that undergoes changes to become a different type of rock. The rock changes due to extreme pressure wich makes them heat up, and change types.... i hope this helps :)
Is gneiss metamorphic?
A gneiss is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are created by the alteration of rocks by heat and pressure. Therefore, a gneiss may be created from an igneous rock in which case it would be called an orthogneiss.
