Limestone.
A rock altered by pressure and heat is called a metamorphic rock. This type of rock forms when existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing them to recrystallize and change their mineral composition without melting. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
When heat and pressure are applied to sedimentary rock, it undergoes a process called metamorphism. This results in changes to the rock's mineralogy, texture, and structure, transforming it into metamorphic rock. The original sedimentary rock's characteristics are altered, creating new minerals and rock types such as gneiss, schist, and marble.
The original rock that was changed into marble by the addition of heat and pressure is likely limestone. Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms from the recrystallization of limestone under high heat and pressure conditions.
Limestone typically turns into marble when subjected to heat and pressure. Marble is a metamorphic rock with a finer texture and often exhibits a wider range of colors than limestone.
Metamorphic rock forms from previously existing rocks that have been altered by intense heat and pressure. This process typically occurs deep within the Earth's crust where these conditions can transform existing rock types like sedimentary or igneous rocks into metamorphic rocks such as marble or gneiss.
Limestone/chalk. Limestone has been subjected to heat and/or pressure, it metamorposes into marble. Both limestone and marble are calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Its just that the internal physical structure of limestone is altered.
Marble is a metamorphic rock so it was formed by heat and pressure. :)

No. Marble is metamorphosed limestone, recrystallized from heat, pressure, or both.
Marble is formed when limestone is subjected to pressure and great heat.
Metamorphic rock is altered by heat and pressure.
pressure, heat, time
It could recrystallize and form marble, under specific conditions of heat and pressure.
