What types of rock can be changed to metamorphic rock?
All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.
What is commonly found in metamorphic rock?
A texture know as foliation is common in metamorphic rock and garnets are more commonly found in metamorphic rock than other rock types of the crust.
Can metamorphic rocks be changed into other types of metamorphic rocks?
Yes, when the metamorphic rock melts and becomes magma there is a chance that it can become a new type of rock.
What are some changes that occur when a sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock?
To change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock, you change it by time,heat, and pressure.
How do the properties of a rock change when the rock changes to metamorphic?
When rock changes into metamorphic rock, its appearance, texture, crystal structure, and mineral content change.

Which metamorphic rock changes to an igneous rock?
Any metamorphic rock can melt and recrystallize and become an igneous rock.
Which process changes ingeous rocks into metamorphic?
Answering "What process changes igneous rocks into metamorphic types?"Igneous rocks convert into metamorphic due to extreme pressure and heat, which can come from magma/lava or the movement of tectonic plates. For example, the igneous rock basalt eventually turns into the metamorphic rock granulite.
What is the name for a rock that changes form?
Metamorphic rock
What type of rock can be changed to metamorphic rock?
All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.
What process has to accure for a rock to become metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rock "meta-morphs," or changes, from other rock forms, typically sedimentary, through a combination of heat, pressure, and of course time.
What is a metamorphic rock made of shale?
A metaphorphic rock is a rock that undergoes changes to become a different type of rock. The rock changes due to extreme pressure wich makes them heat up, and change types.... i hope this helps :)
