They both are formed by intense heat. However, metamorphic rocks are formed by intense heat and pressure, while igneous rocks are just dried lava/magma.
Unakite rocks are metamorphic rocks formed from the alteration of igneous rocks. They are typically composed of pink feldspar, green epidote, and clear quartz.
Meta-igneous. Metamorphism of igneous rocks can form a wide range of metamorphic rocks, depending on the mineralogy of the igneous protolith and the P-T conditions of the metamorphism.
The main type of energy used to help convert metamorphic rocks into igneous rocks is heat. This heat can come from processes such as magma intrusion, volcanic activity, or tectonic movements, causing the metamorphic rocks to melt and recrystallize into igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks and most metamorphic rocks, of an igneous origin.
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.

It is a type of Metamorphic rock
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks through the process of heat and pressure, but they are more commonly associated with forming from existing metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks can indirectly contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks by heating up and altering surrounding rocks, leading to the formation of new metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
The three types of rocks involved in the rock cycle are igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the solidification of molten magma, sedimentary rocks form from the deposition and lithification of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from pre-existing rocks that are subjected to high heat and pressure.
Igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks by being subjected to high heat and pressure, causing recrystallization of minerals. Igneous rocks can also weather and erode to form sediment, which can then be deposited, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.
