What rocks are formed from high temperature and pressures?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can be changed by high temperatures and pressure, and the resultant rock is called metamorphic, because its form has been changed.
What m described rocks that were formed when existing rocks were heated or squashed?
Metamorphic rock. This can naturally form an existing Sedimentary, Igneous or Metamorphic rock due to exposure to heat and/or pressure.
Rock formed by heat and pressure?
