Metamorphic rocks
Is gneiss metamorphic?

Rocks made when other rocks are subjected to intense pressure and heat?
Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes the minerals in the original rocks to recrystallize into new forms, resulting in metamorphic rocks like marble, slate, and gneiss.
What are metamorphic rocks made?

What is one way igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are different?

What will determine if a rock becomes an igneous or metamorphic rock?
Geological processes form rocks. Igneous rocks are made from magmas. Metamorphic rocks are made by changing the physical environment of a previously existing rock.
Are metamorphic rocks only formed by igneous rocks?
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
