What is the rock called that existed before it is changed into a metamorphic rock?
The original rock that exists before it undergoes metamorphism is called a parent rock or protolith. This parent rock can be any type of rock, such as sedimentary, igneous, or another metamorphic rock, that is subjected to high temperature and pressure to form a metamorphic rock.
What rocks are changed by high tempatures and high pressure?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can be changed by high temperatures and pressure, and the resultant rock is called metamorphic, because its form has been changed.
Can sedimentary rock form directly from metamorphic rock?
Yes, sedimentary rock can form from metamorphic rock through a process called retrograde metamorphism. In this process, metamorphic rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion to form sediment, which can then be compacted and cemented to form new sedimentary rock.
What are mettamorphic rock?
A metamorphic rock is a rock that is changed from an already existing form of rock by pressure or temperature
How metmorphic rock form?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks which have changed from one form to another due to intense heat or pressure. Any rock (sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous) can be changed into a metamorphic rock.
Rocks that are changed by heat and pressure will form?

What is the layers of rock around a volcano called?
The layers of rock form a dome called a laccolith
What is a rock that is changed from one form to another by high heat and great pressure?

What is the solid form of water that breaks rock?
The Solid Form of Water that breaks rock is called "ice".
How are metmorphic rocks formed?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks which have changed from one form to another due to intense heat or pressure. Any rock (sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous) can be changed into a metamorphic rock.
