Heat and pressure cause granite to change to gneiss.
Igneous rock like granite can be changed into schist through the process of metamorphism, where intense heat and pressure cause recrystallization of the minerals. This process can occur deep within the Earth's crust, transforming the granite into a foliated metamorphic rock like schist.
A mixture of sand and clay, mudstone, metamorphose (process of changing from one type of rock into a metamorphic rock) into gneiss rocks or schist rocks. The mudstones would change under heat and pressure to make the new Metamorphic rocks.
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.
An igneous rock can be metamorphosed (changed) into a metamorphic rock but will no longer be an igneous rock. An igneous body can be intruded into metamorphic rocks but will still be an igneous rock that is different from the surrounding metamorphic rocks. Ethier answer work depending on how the question is read.
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks through the process of heat and pressure, but they are more commonly associated with forming from existing metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks can indirectly contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks by heating up and altering surrounding rocks, leading to the formation of new metamorphic rocks.

No. If a rock melts and then re-solidifies the result is counted as igneous, not metamorphic.
Metamorphic rock can not become igneous rock, however igneous rock can become metamorphic. This process happens over time as the rocks are shifted, compressed and heated by the Earth.
no, the process only happens to igneous rocks
It begins with melting.
Not from the magma, no. Cooled and solidified magma is classified as igneous. However, metamorphic rocks can be formed as the heat and hot fluids of intruding magma affect the properties and possibly the chemistry of the existing "country rock" into which it comes in contact. This process is called contact metamorphism.

Igneous and Metamorphic rocks.

By a process of melting and re-solidification of the melt produced..
If you mean the different types, there are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. Sedimentary is formed when layers and layers of sediment are cemented together. During the process of metamorphism, no new substance is formed. The rock is compressed by heat or scolding water, and pressure. That is how metamorphic rock is formed. Lastly, igneous rock is formed when magma and/or lava cools and hardens. An example of sedimentary rock is limestone. A metamorphic, slate. A good example of igneous is granite, and everyone knows what that is.
