Metamorphic rock has undergone changes in temperature, pressure, or chemical composition, causing it to recrystallize and form new minerals.
Metamorphic rock can change into igneous rock through melting and solidification, or into sedimentary rock through weathering, erosion, and lithification.
A metamorphic rock can form from either a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock. When subjected to high heat and pressure, existing rocks can recrystallize and change into new types of rocks, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rock is formed through heat and pressure acting on existing rocks, causing them to recrystallize and change their mineral composition without melting. Examples include marble, slate, and schist.
Metamorphic rock can change into igneous rock through the process of partial melting. When metamorphic rock is exposed to high temperatures and pressures in the Earth's crust, some of its mineral components may melt and re-crystallize into new igneous rock as the magma cools and solidifies.
Metamorphic grade refers to the degree of metamorphic change a rock has undergone compared to its parent rock. It encompasses changes in mineralogy, texture, and structure that occur during the metamorphic process.
It would represent a contact metamorphic rock, as the change that has occurred in the raw ingredients has been caused by exposure and proximity to a source of heat.
Dating a metamorphic rock can indicate the time since metamorphism occurred.

Metamorphic rocks have been changed by heat or pressure. This can be a change in size, shape, or arrangement of minerals.
