Metamorphic Rock
Increase the pressure and temperature by burying them; or heat them with an igneous intrusion.
Sedimentary rocks
Metamorphic Rocks are rocks that have changed form due to heat and pressure.
Metamorphic rocks have been changed by heat or pressure. This can be a change in size, shape, or arrangement of minerals.
Sedimentary rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure, while igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks through the same process. Both types of rocks can also be weathered and eroded, leading to the formation of new sedimentary rocks.
When rocks are changed by heat, pressure, or steam, they can undergo metamorphism. This process can produce new minerals, change the texture of the rock, and create foliation or banding. The end result can be metamorphic rocks such as marble, slate, or schist.
sedimentary rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks by the use of pressure and/or heat
When igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks are changed due to heat and pressure, they can form metamorphic rocks. This process is known as metamorphism, and it often results in the rocks being altered in texture and mineral composition. Metamorphic rocks can include marble, schist, and gneiss.
Regional
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
