mudstone and shale. These can become the metamorphic rock slate if exposed to high pressure and temperature.
Turn it into metamorphic rock.
No. Rock melts when temperature reaches a high enough point. Increasing pressure actually raises the temperature needed to melt rock, so it can actually cause molten rock to solidify.
Metamorphic Rocks
nothing
Decreasing the pressure on rock will allow rock to melt at lower temperature. High pressures will raise the melting point of rock.

Clastic sedimentary rock is a product of the weathering, erosion, and diagenesis of pre-existing rock.
The two main factors that affect the temperature at which rocks melt are the composition of the rock and the pressure acting on it. Different minerals have different melting points, so the composition of the rock will determine its melting temperature. Additionally, pressure can increase or decrease the melting temperature of rocks, with higher pressure generally increasing melting temperature and lower pressure decreasing it.
A metamorphic rock is a rock that is changed from an already existing form of rock by pressure or temperature
No. Rock melts when temperature reaches a high enough point. Increasing pressure actually raises the temperature needed to melt rock, so it can actually cause molten rock to solidify.
Metamorphic Rock
Rock exposed to very high temperature and pressure will soften or melt.
Heat, pressure, or transfer of elements through high temperature solutions.
