Changes in the structure, texture, or mineralogy of existing rocks will create a metamorphic rock. Metamorphism can result from the effects of heat and/or pressure, or from the addition of ions from heated fluids. Examples of metamorphic rock are slate, schist, and gneiss.

Any type of reaction, really. You could add heat or remove heat (thermal energy) to cause the matter to change phase. Also pressure can compress the matter into a new form.
