Changes in the structure, texture, or mineralogy of existing rocks will create a metamorphic rock. Metamorphism can result from the effects of heat and/or pressure, or from the addition of ions from heated fluids. Examples of metamorphic rock are slate, schist, and gneiss.

heat and pressure
Does Sand forms by Heat Pressure?
No. Sand is a type of sediment. Therefore it is a type of sedimentary rock, and is not formed by heat or pressure.
What makes matter change forms?
Any type of reaction, really. You could add heat or remove heat (thermal energy) to cause the matter to change phase. Also pressure can compress the matter into a new form.

What makes water change from one state to another?
Heat, or Pressure, and possibly salinity Cold
What causes rocks to change from one type to another?
Rock is continually recycled into new forms of rock by the processes of weathering, erosion and lithification, melting and solidification, or by pressure and/or heat causing recrystallization and changes in mineralization.
What Metamorphic rock forms as a result?
heat and pressure
What is shale after heat and pressure?
Slate is the metamorphic rock that forms from shale after it is exposed to heat and pressure for a llllloooooonnnnnnnggggg time.
