Metamorphic rocks are formed from igneous, sedimentary and older metamorphic rocks that are introduced to extreme temperature and pressure. Because of the extreme temperature and pressure, rocks go through a significant chemical or physical change, turing them into metamorphic rocks.
The process needed to change sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock is called metamorphism. Metamorphism occurs when sedimentary rocks are subjected to high heat and pressure within the Earth's crust, causing them to recrystallize and form new mineral structures without melting. This process can happen due to tectonic forces during mountain building, or deep burial within the Earth's crust.
It is formed by the action of heat or pressure.
The rock is likely a type of metamorphic rock called a mylonite, which forms from intense deformation. The crystals are not aligned due to the intense shearing forces during metamorphism, causing the grains to rotate and create a foliation. This unique texture distinguishes mylonites from other types of rocks.
If sedimentary rock is pulled into Earth's interior by tectonic forces, it will undergo heat and pressure, transforming into metamorphic rock. Further movement and heating could melt the metamorphic rock, turning it into magma. The magma can then cool and solidify to form igneous rock, completing the rock cycle.
heat and pressure
yes it does create a metamorphic rock
heat and pressure create metamorphic rock.
Heat, for sure, and most often a combination of heat and pressure is needed for metamorphic rock creation.

Metamorphic rock structures are formed when rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature, often due to tectonic forces that cause deformation. Deformation can cause rocks to recrystallize, rearrange mineral structures, and develop foliation or lineation in metamorphic rocks. Therefore, the type and intensity of deformation can significantly influence the texture and structure of metamorphic rocks.

it has to be melted and then has to re-solidify. Heat (lots of it) to melt the rock is what is needed.
