Any rock can become a metamorphic rock. To become a metamorphic rock the rock must undergo heat and/or pressure, but not so much that the rock melts. Should the rock melt it would become an igneous rock.

When you look at a metamorphic rock how can you tell it is one?
Understand that metamorphic rocks are those that have changed in some way by heat or pressure or both. Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments and igneous rocks are formed by fire. When these rocks change again, they become metamorphic. Marble is one type of metamorphic rock.Look at the way the grain are formed. In schist rocks, you can see that the layers and the grains all go the same way. Warning Metamorphic rocks are difficult to classify because different amounts of heat or pressure to the same rock can look different.
When sedimentary rocks melts and then cools down it forms what type of rock?
Metamorphic rock is formed.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
When old rocks are partially melted or squeezed what rocks are formed?
Metamorphic rocks
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
Type of rock formed by heating and squeezing other rocks?
metamorphic.
The type of rock that is formed from rocks that already exist?
METAMORPHIC
Are metamorphic rocks naturally formed?
Metamorphic rocks are naturally formed. they are formed from natural changes that happen to other rocks.
Are metamorphic rocks only formed by igneous rocks?
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
What rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks?
the metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and extreme pressure from other rocks
What are the three kinds of rocks tell how each formed?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary are the three types of rocks. Sedimentary is formed when layer of mud or silt build up gradually. Igneous is formed when molten magma cools. Metamorphic is formed when a type of rock changes to another type
What type of rock is formed when other rocks are exposed to great heat and pressure?
Metamorphic.
When heat and pressure cause a rock to change what type of rock is formed?
Metamorphic Rocks.
What type of rocks are formed by processes by the sun?
sedimentary Mr. R This is incorrect. The answer is metamorphic.

sedimentary Mr. R This is incorrect. The answer is metamorphic.
What kind of rock does a metamorphic rock start as?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks.
Can metamorphic rocks be formed from changes in igneous sedimentary or other metamorphic rocks?
yes
