Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
Can metamorphic rocks from from other metamorphic rocks?
Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.
What is the metamorphic grade of gneiss?
Gneiss is usually considered a high grade metamorphic rock (although there are some weird exceptions).
What is the lowest grade of foliated metamorphic rock?

How does metamorphic form?
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.
Does metamorphic rock change?

What changes other types of rock to metamorphic?
Heating and pressurization changes igneous and sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rock.
What are some changes that occur when a sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock?
To change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock, you change it by time,heat, and pressure.
How do the properties of a rock change when the rock changes to metamorphic?
When rock changes into metamorphic rock, its appearance, texture, crystal structure, and mineral content change.

How can a metamorphic rock change into another rock?
Yes. A metamorphic rock can be metamorphosed into a higher-grade metamorphic rock. It can be weather into sediment and re-lithified into a sedimentary rock, or it can melt then solidify to become an igneous rock.
