Limestone can metamorphose into marble, a regional metamorphic rock, or into skarn, a contact metamorphic rock.
Sedimentary rocks are most likely to form in earthquake zones because they are easily broken, shifted, and compacted by the tectonic forces associated with earthquakes. These rocks can be fractured and deformed as a result of the intense pressure and movement during seismic events.
Metamorphic rocks can transform into other metamorphic rocks through the process of recrystallization under high pressure and temperature conditions. The specific type of rock it transforms into will depend on the composition of the original rock and the conditions of metamorphism.
A metamorphic rock is most likely to form deep within the Earth's crust under high pressure and temperature conditions. This can happen in regions of tectonic activity like mountain ranges or near plate boundaries. Metamorphic rocks can also form from the intense heat and pressure associated with magma intrusions.
The metamorphic rock will most likely transform into sedimentary rock next. The uplifting process will expose the rock to erosion and weathering, breaking it down into sediments that will then be deposited and lithified to form sedimentary rock.

Metamorphic rock
From the actions of heat and presure on pre-existing rocks.
No. Metamorphic rock froms from processes that take place in the solid state. Rocks that form from molten material are igneous.

No.
Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.

Igneous for sure. Also metamorphic.
Metamorphic rocks are most likely found at a site that is deep under ground. Metamorphic rocks are formed by other materials under great amounts of pressure. This pressure is caused by plate collisions in the lithosphere.
If igneous rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to recrystallize into new igneous rocks. On the other hand, if sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to metamorphose into metamorphic rocks.
