The 3 basic rock types are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, which can all be changed or metamorphosed by heat and pressure.

Nonfoliated metamorphic rock would be:Quartzite - composed of the mineral quartz; metamorphosed sandstoneMarble - composed of the mineral calcite; metamorphosed limestone
Gneiss is the metamorphosed type of granite.
Granite is Igneous rock. It crystallizes from hot melt (magma). Metamorphic rocks can be found associated with granite as result of their contact with country (surrounding) rocks. This will be a contact metamorphism. Metamorphism of granite it self results into granitic gneisses which are coarse foliated rocks.
it is made of granite
Granite cannot metamorphose into marble. Marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolostone.
Yes. A rock is said to be metamorphosed when it undergoes a change due to heat and/or pressure.
Density
Gneiss metamorphosed from shale, sandstone, granite and conglomerate.

Slate--metamorphosed shale or mudstone.Phyllite--metamorphosed slate.Quartzite--metamorphosed sandstone.
