A metamorphic rock can become an extrusive igneous rock through a process called partial melting. When metamorphic rock is subjected to high temperatures and pressures, some minerals within the rock may melt while others remain solid. The melted minerals can then rise to the surface through volcanic activity and cool quickly, forming an extrusive igneous rock. This process is known as anatexis, and it can result in the formation of rocks such as rhyolite or andesite.
