it is an metamorphic rock, because of the pressure it gets hot and it is formed underground.

Nonfoliated metamorphic rock definition?
Nonfoliated metamorphic rocks are formed around igneous intrusions where the temperatures are high but the pressures are relatively low and equal in all directions (confining pressure).
What aren't you likely to find a fossil I metamorphic rock or igneous rock?
The fossils will be crushed under the pressures required to create metamorphic rocks and they will melt in the heat required to make igneous rocks.
Is lava a metamorphic rock?
no lava is a liquid that when cooled forms extrusive igneous rock Metamorphic rock is something that has been "metamorphosed" usually by being shoved down into the high temperatures and pressures inside the earth by tectonic plate movement. Sandstone (soft) can become granite (hard) in this way.
If exposed to high enough temperatures and pressures long-buried igneous rock could?
Melt and recrystallize

How does a metamorphic rock becomes an igneous rock?
If a metamorphic rock is buried deeply in the earths' crust it comes under great pressures and temperatures. If these are great enough to re-melt the rock it ceases to be metamorphic and when it cools, it re-crystallizes into an igneous rock.
Nonfoliated metamorphic rock definition?

What rocks are formed from high temperature and pressures?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can be changed by high temperatures and pressure, and the resultant rock is called metamorphic, because its form has been changed.
How is metarmorphic rock made?
Metamorphic Rock is made from Igneous or sedimentary rock by experiencing extremely high pressures and temperatures. e.g. slate is formed from shail marble is formed from limestone
Igneous rocks and metamorphic rock can form at high temperatures and pressure. what is the difference between the two rock type?

What aren't you likely to find a fossil I metamorphic rock or igneous rock?
The fossils will be crushed under the pressures required to create metamorphic rocks and they will melt in the heat required to make igneous rocks.
What two conditions are necessary to form igneous rocks?
Increased temperatures and or decreased pressures.
