Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from igneous, sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks. Heat, pressure and chemical action can cause a rock to change into another rock. Pressure from the rocks on top of them squeezes and folds the rock. Their grains come close together and they become less porous. Heat and chemicals may cause changes in the arrangement of mineral particles or new minerals may be formed.
