One way a rock can undergo metamorphism is if temperature or pressure of the new environment is different than the environment the rock was formed. That's about all I know... just a seventh grader learning this in school...

What is a short description of metamorphic rocks?
Brick is baked mud, and as such, can be considered to be sedimentary.
Can metamorphic rock change into metamorphic rock?
Many ways, really. For example, a continental plate may be submerging underneath another continental plate (a boundary interaction often associated with volcanoes), and in the process, that continental plate that is being submerged, often the ocean floor, changes into metamorphic rock, and if subjected to enough pressure and heat, may become igneous. Or, if two continental plates collide where one plate used to be ocean floor, such as with the Himalayan Mountains, the two plates would jam together. In between these plates, there may be enough heat and pressure to change the sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock.
Are there other ways that metamorphic rock forms besides from heat and pressure?
No, unless scientist invent something more powerful.
Contrast foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Foaliated rock can form in one or two ways. Extreme pressure may cause the mineral crystals in the rock to realign or regrow to form parallel bands. Foaliation also occurs as minerals that have different compositions separate to produce a series of alternation dark and light bands. Most nonfoliated metamorphic rocks share at least one or two main characteristics. First, the original rock that is metamorphosed may contain grains of only one mineral or contains very small amounts of other minerals.
Can metamorphic rocks be sedimentary or igneous rocks?
there are several ways such as heat & pressure, melting, chemical weathering, compression, compaction & cementation, but it depends on the kind of rock it is for what process it has to go through. -Cutegirl99
How is igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rock the same?
Sedimentary is formed by the sediments collecting, compacting and cementing together. Metamorphic rocks are made when rocks are compacted and exposed to heat and pressure. The only rock that is made of cooled hardened magma is an igneous rock which can be made two ways, intrusively or extrusively.
In what two ways can the parent rock affect the metamorphic process?
One of the two ways that parent rock affect the metamorphic process is through the mineral makeup. Another factor is chemical composition.

What ways are Metamorphic rock are like Sedimentary rocks?
They are both part of the ground?
What are the two basic ways metamorphic rock is generated?
pressure and heat, by greek changing
Two ways you can use metamorphic rocks?
you stick your dick in the rock and make hole..
Why are metamorphic rock important?
It is used many different ways. It could be used for buildings and roofs. Some examples of metamorphic rock include marble, slate and quartzite.-Don't ask me how to say it!

How does a precambrian rock form?
The word Precambrian describes the approximate age of the rock, it could be sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic and there are many ways in which these 3 types of rock could form.
Are there other ways that metamorphic rock forms besides from heat and pressure?
No, unless scientist invent something more powerful.

What are ways to get schist?
Schist is a foliated metamorphic rock. It is formed when mudstone, shale, slate, or phyllite are subjected to higher temperature and pressure.
