Gneiss is a Plutonic metamorphic rock which is formed under high pressure and temperature condition at Katazone or Lower Zone.
The rock with the highest degree of metamorphism is called migmatite.
gneiss.
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that meets those criteria.
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that meets those criteria.
it is an metamorphic rock, because of the pressure it gets hot and it is formed underground.
Nonfoliated metamorphic rocks are formed around igneous intrusions where the temperatures are high but the pressures are relatively low and equal in all directions (confining pressure).
Rutile is a mineral that is mainly composed of titanium dioxide. It is commonly found in metamorphic rocks and is formed due to high temperatures and high pressures in the environment.

Care need to be taken with terminology here! Metamorphic rocks are formed by an increase in either the temperature or pressure (or both) acting on a rock. As such the temperatures and pressures need to be "higher" than those currently occurring. However the increased temperature and pressure may still be considered "low" in broad terms as there are varying grades of metamorphism which are dependant on the temperature and pressure at which specific metamorphic minerals are formed.
Metamorphic Rock is made from Igneous or sedimentary rock by experiencing extremely high pressures and temperatures. e.g. slate is formed from shail marble is formed from limestone

Of course they can. The overall compositions of the rocks will remain the same (assuming a closed system, which isn't always the case), but mineralogically there will be changes due to metamorphic pressures and temperatures. There are a whole list of minerals which only formed from metamorphic processes.
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can be changed by high temperatures and pressure, and the resultant rock is called metamorphic, because its form has been changed.
The type of rock formed when exposed to extreme temperatures and pressure is metamorphic rock.
yes, slate is metamorphic rock
The three types of rocks you can find in the Rocky Mountains are sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks, and metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediment, such as sandstone and limestone. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten magma or lava, such as granite and basalt. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the transformation of existing rocks due to high temperatures and pressures, such as gneiss and schist.
