How do gniess rocks form in earth?

Is schist rock by an active volcano?
Generally not. Schist is a metamorphic rock formed when other rock types are exposed to immense pressure. If schist is found near a volcano, it is only by coincidence.
What are ways to get schist?
Schist is a foliated metamorphic rock. It is formed when mudstone, shale, slate, or phyllite are subjected to higher temperature and pressure.
What metamorphic rocks are formed from mudstones?
Slate,schist,gneiss are the metamorphic rock formed from mudstone.
