All metamorphism (in Geological terms) requires heat, whether it is Thermal or Regional:
- Thermal is heat only. It happens at the surface mainly. This happens upon contact with an igneous intrusion, and in a burnt margin in an extrusion/unconformity like a lava flow.
- Regional is both heat and pressure. It happens deep beneath the surface only.

What forms beneath earths surface?
The rock that forms on earth's surface is extrusive rock or otherwise known as a metamorphic rock.
What type of rock forms on earths surface from pieces of other rocks?
Metamorphic in a sentence
Why metamorphic rock rarely forms at earth surface?
Metamorphic rock forms deep below the Earth's surface where high pressure and temperature conditions exist. These conditions are not typically found at the Earth's surface where weathering, erosion, and lower temperatures prevail. As a result, metamorphic rock is rarely formed at the Earth's surface.
What is a rock that forms from other rock due to heat and pressure beneath earths surface?
A rock that forms from other rocks due to heat and pressure beneath the Earth's surface is called a metamorphic rock. Examples include marble, slate, and gneiss.
What forms partly as the result of surface processes?
metamorphic slate
When magma cools above the earth's surface it forms?
metamorphic rock
Where do Most metamorphic rock forms?
heat and pressure beneath Earth's surface can change a rock into metamorphic rock.
Rock that forms from other rock due to heat and pressure beneath earths surface?
Metamorphic rock forms when existing rock is subjected to high temperatures and pressures below the Earth's surface. This causes the mineral composition and texture of the rock to change, resulting in the formation of new types of rock such as marble, schist, or gneiss.

What is igneous rock that forms below earths surface extrusive or intrusive?
Igneous rock that forms below the Earth's surface is intrusive.
