How can one type of rock be changed to another type of rock very quickly?

Very quick (depending on one's definition) metamorphism of rock would only occur under extreme and near instantaneous changes to a rock's environment. An example would be the effects on surface rock from a large meteor impact, with the metamorphism occuring from the accompanying high temperature and pressure.

Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.
What type of rock has changed from on type of rock another?
Metamorphic rocks are those which have changed type due to heat, presssure or some other geologic agent.
What kind of rock forms when any type of solid rock changes into another type of rock because of increased pressure or temperature?
Those are metamorphic rocks, changed from one type to another by extreme pressure.
Can sedimentary rock form directly from metamorphic rock?
yes it can- metamorphic has to change into one type of rock after it is changed from another.
Type of rock has been changed from one type into another?
Metamorphic rocks are those which have changed type due to heat, presssure or some other geologic agent.
Rock that has changed from one type of rock to another type of rock is called?
It can be any type of rock. If heat and pressure deep in the Earth changed it, it is a metamorphic rock. If sediments of sand or other rocks compacted/cemented together, it's a sedimentary rock. If magma from a volcano cools, (on the outside of a volcano) it's an igneous rock.
