No. Volcanic rock (or igneous rock) is formed when lava cools. A metamorphic rock is formed when a rock changes because of tremendous heat and pressure underneath the earth to become a new type of rock.

The answer is yes.
How would you make a metamorphic rock into a metamorphic rock?
Do nothing. It is not necessary to do anything if you want a rock to remain the same.
How would Sedimentary rock turn to metamorphic?
Sedimentary rock that is exposed to heat and pressure will be changed to (metamophised) into metamorphic rock. This is often associated with volcanic activity. An example is limestone, when exposed to the pressure and heat can be changed to marble.
What are the steps needed to form metamorphic rock from magma?
Metamorphic rock is not formed directly from magma. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma and lava.
How does sedimentary rock form to metamorphic rock?
Shale (a metamorphic rock) goes through heat and pressure than it turns into slate (a sedimentary rock)
What are volcanic igneous formations?
the cycle of the rock is that firstly it is igneous rock which is formed under a volcano, the it is sedimentary rock e.g. limestone then that transforms into metamorphic rock which is marble or slate.
What are the sources of heat the helps the metamorphic rock to form?
Usually geothermal energy. Sometimes the heat from volcanic lava.
How are the sedimentary rock the metamorphic rock and the igneous rock the same?
They all contain minerals.
