Sedimentary or igneous rocks often go through the change of metamorphism.
Two examples of non-foliated rocks are marble, which forms from the metamorphism of limestone, and quartzite, which forms from the metamorphism of sandstone. These rocks do not have a layered or banded appearance like foliated rocks such as schist or gneiss.
The four types of metamorphism are contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism, and hydrothermal metamorphism. Contact metamorphism occurs near igneous intrusions, regional metamorphism happens over large areas due to tectonic forces, dynamic metamorphism occurs along fault zones, and hydrothermal metamorphism involves hot, circulating fluids altering rocks.
Types of metamorphism are Contact Metamorphism Regional Metamorphism Cataclastic Metamorphism Hydrothermal Metamorphism Burial Metamorphism Shock Metamorphism (Impact Metamorphism)

It is called contact metamorphism.
Dynamic Metamorphism >.<
Regional Metamorphism
contact metamorphism is what happens when something is really hot. regional metamorphism on the other hand involves much larger packages of rocks.
Rocks formed from thermal metamorphism are very hard. An example is hornfels. Just search thermal metamorphism and/or hornfels and you'll see some nice explanations on the web.

Contact metamorphism is metamorphism that happens when preexisting rock comes in contact with a molten rock or magma and it melts locally.Regional metamorphism is metamorphism happens when two plates collide the plate that subducts can melt by the heated area.
