they are normally formed inside or very near volcanoes. To form igneous rock magma must cool the it will turn into and igneous rock (intrusive or extrusive)
Limestone can metamorphose into marble, a regional metamorphic rock, or into skarn, a contact metamorphic rock.
Metamorphic rocks can transform into other metamorphic rocks through the process of recrystallization under high pressure and temperature conditions. The specific type of rock it transforms into will depend on the composition of the original rock and the conditions of metamorphism.
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.
Heat and pressure are the two main agents needed to change a rock into metamorphic rock. Heat causes the minerals within the rock to recrystallize, while pressure creates the conditions for those new minerals to align in a specific orientation.
Yes, sedimentary rock can form from metamorphic rock through a process called retrograde metamorphism. In this process, metamorphic rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion to form sediment, which can then be compacted and cemented to form new sedimentary rock.
Diamond is a mineral that can only form under certain conditions of heat and pressure. Although it will appear in metamorphic rock, it is not itself a metamorphic rock, but a mineral.

No.
Yes, marble is a metamorphic rock. It forms from the metamorphism of limestone, which is a sedimentary rock, under high heat and pressure conditions.
Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.

It is likely a type of metamorphic rock, such as schist or gneiss, which form under high temperature and pressure conditions leading to the alignment of mineral grains into flat layers.
metamorphic because it melts the rock and forms another
Heat, for sure, and most often a combination of heat and pressure is needed for metamorphic rock creation.
