Burial metamorphism
When a rock changes due to surrounding pressure, it undergoes a process called metamorphism. This can cause the rock to recrystallize into new minerals or textures without melting. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of fluids all play a role in metamorphic rock formation.
A rock that continuously changes from one type to another due to heat and pressure is called a metamorphic rock. This transformation occurs deep within the Earth's crust where existing rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, causing them to recrystallize into a different type of rock.
That is called a Metamorphic rock. it can take thousands to millions of years to create these but they can be formed pretty quickly too. for example, when a meitor hits the earths surface, it can create metamorphic rocks instantly.
The rock is called sedimentary rock. The process of turning dead plants into coal through pressure and heat is known as coalification.
Igneous or sedimentary rocks are transformed into metamorphic rocks through high pressure, temperature, or both. This process, known as metamorphism, occurs deep within the Earth's crust where rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, causing their mineral composition and texture to change without melting.

The rock has undergone metamorphism. Metamorphism is the process in which the mineral composition and texture of a rock change in response to heat, pressure, or chemical reactions. This can result in the formation of new minerals and changes in the rock's appearance and physical properties.
When a batholith touches surrounding rock, the heat and pressure generated by the intrusion can alter the surrounding rock through contact metamorphism. This can result in the formation of new minerals or changes in the existing rock's texture and structure. Over time, the contact between the batholith and surrounding rock can lead to the creation of unique geological features and formations.

To change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock, you change it by time,heat, and pressure.
you expose the rock to extreme heat or pressure such that the rock changes.
A process that changes rock due to directed pressure on a rock

changes in buoyancy due to changes in density differences between the magma and surrounding rock.
