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.
A "metamorphic" rock.
heat and pressure
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.
Rocks can change from one form to another through the process of the rock cycle, which involves the transformation of rocks through weathering, erosion, deposition, heat, and pressure. The rate at which rocks change forms depends on the specific conditions of their environment, but the rock cycle is a continuous process that can take millions of years to complete.
Sedimentary Rocks.
Coal.
The process is called metamorphism, where heat and pressure change one type of rock into another.
heat and pressure beneath Earth's surface can change a rock into metamorphic rock.

If granite were subjected to intense heat and pressure, it would likely change to gneiss, a metamorphic rock. Gneiss forms through the recrystallization of minerals in granite under high temperature and pressure conditions.
Heat and pressure create metamorphic rock. This type of rock forms when existing rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, causing their mineral composition and texture to change. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
A metamorphic rock forms by heat and pressure

Slate is the metamorphic rock that forms from shale after it is exposed to heat and pressure for a llllloooooonnnnnnnggggg time.
Rock is continually recycled into new forms of rock by the processes of weathering, erosion and lithification, melting and solidification, or by pressure and/or heat causing recrystallization and changes in mineralization.
