They are transformed into a new form of rock with different chemical and physical properties called "metamorphic" rocks. This is how marble and granite are formed, for example.
Shale exposed to great pressure can form slate, a fine-grained metamorphic rock. The intense pressure and heat cause the clay minerals in the shale to recrystallize, resulting in a denser and more durable rock with distinct foliation.
Igneous rock forms when molten minerals cool from a liquid into a solid. Metamorphics forms deep under earth's crust where it's really hot. Heat and pressure changes the rock's properties, eventually turning it into an metamorphic rock.
Sedimentary rocks: Rock formed when chemical reactions cement sediments (small, solid fragments of rocks and other materials) together, hardening them. Igneous rocks: Rock that forms from molten rock (hot magma thats cools and hardens). Metamorphic rocks: Igneous/sedimentary rock that has been changed into a new kind of rock as a result of great pressure and temperature.
Bituminous coal is consided a sedimentary rock. Anthracite coal is bituminous coal that has been metamorphosed by great pressure and heat and is considered a metamorphic rock.
Igneous rocks are useful because they provide information about Earth's history, such as how they were formed and the conditions of their formation. They also contain valuable resources like metals and minerals. Additionally, igneous rocks are used in construction materials and as decorative stones.
By them being boroken down (sediment) then exposed to great pressure.

when sedimentary rocks get exposed to great heat and pressure, they become more consolidated (harder to weather). when igneous rock combines with sediments and the two are heated under pressure, they become one rock, a metamorphic rock
Metamorphic.

No. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma or lava. Diamond is a mineral which is formed at great depth below the surface, from intense pressure and heat.

That will be an Igneous rock any way my name is Jessica
When rocks are under great heat and pressure, they can undergo metamorphism, which changes their mineral composition and texture without melting them. This process can lead to the formation of new minerals and characteristic foliation. If the rocks are subjected to even higher temperatures, they may eventually melt and form igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks can change into metamorphic rocks from great heat and pressure as all other rocks can, melt into magma, the molten rock, and erode into sediment, which are rock fragments.
Great pressure and heat, but short of the temperature that would completely melt the rock.
