The rock becomes too hot that it must turn into liquid form (lava). This would usually mean that the rock had to have come into contact with lava first.

What are the steps needed to form metamorphic rock from magma?
Metamorphic rock is not formed directly from magma. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma and lava.
What would cause a metamorphic rock to surround magma?
If the magma intruded into some other rock, its heat and pressure would tend to metamorphose the surrounding rock near to it, producing a body of magma surrounded by metamorphic rock.
When metamorphic rock changes to magma the magma rises and cools to become?
A metamorphic rock is formed by the elements, minor heat, and compression. When the metamorphic rock is melted by magma, this would indicate that the metamorphic rock is under the surface of the earth. If it rises and cools again you will have an extrusive igneous rock. In a lot of cases, this is metamorphic rock on the surface under the influence of lava. This would change the composition and it would not longer be metamorphic, but rather igneous.
What happens after a metamorphic rock is formed?
Metamorphic rock does not come out of magma. Igneous rock does.
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.
Can igneous rock and sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock turn into magma?
no it can't
What will metamorphic rock turn into?
if it erodes then sedementry. if it melts in magma then its igneous.
How does metamorphic rock turn to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks get turned in to metamorphic rocks by heat and pressure. They get heated by magma and convection currents, which causes the rock to change.
What is metamorphic rock when melted?
magma
How can metamorphic rock become magma?
If the metamorphic rock becomes hot enough it can melt.
How could a metamorphic rock go to a igneous rock?
If a metamorphic rock were to reach the mantle and melt, it would become magma. If that magma were then to recrystallize it would be an igneous rock.
How do metamorphic rocks change into igneous rock?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock

What is formed when metamorphic rock melts?
magma
Can a metamorphic rock be formed from magma?
i don't not
What kind of rock changes to magma after melting?
metamorphic rock
