What is a metamorphic rock made of shale?
A metaphorphic rock is a rock that undergoes changes to become a different type of rock. The rock changes due to extreme pressure wich makes them heat up, and change types.... i hope this helps :)

What rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks?
the metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and extreme pressure from other rocks
What are two examples of Metomorphic rocks?
Slate and marble are examples of metamorphic rocks. Other metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and quartzite. All metamorphic rocks are formed from other rock types.
What is rock that is changed by heat pressure or chemical change?
Metamorphic rocks have been changed by heat or pressure. This can be a change in size, shape, or arrangement of minerals.
What property distinguishes foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and schist from nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
a banded texture
What makes a metamorphic rock unique?

Are unakite rocks Sedimentary rocks Metamorphic rocks or Igneous rocks?
metamorphic
What process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Subduction and high pressure.
What rocks are formed from high temperature and pressures?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can be changed by high temperatures and pressure, and the resultant rock is called metamorphic, because its form has been changed.
Is metamorphic rocks made up of sedimentary rock igneous rock or other metamorphic rocks?
