The three major rock groups that change by natural forces are igneous rocks, which form from the cooling of magma and can be weathered into sedimentary rocks; sedimentary rocks, which can be compressed and heated to form metamorphic rocks; and metamorphic rocks, which can be melted to form magma and cool into igneous rocks.
metamorphic rocks get compacted and cemented together until it becomes sedimentary rocks. they can also get crystallized underwater into sedimentary rock. hope you find this helpful!!! :)when a rock is put under a lot of heat and pressure it morphs into a sedimentary rock.
A metamorphic rock is formed by the elements, minor heat, and compression. When the metamorphic rock is melted by magma, this would indicate that the metamorphic rock is under the surface of the earth. If it rises and cools again you will have an extrusive igneous rock. In a lot of cases, this is metamorphic rock on the surface under the influence of lava. This would change the composition and it would not longer be metamorphic, but rather igneous.
Igneous rocks can change into metamorphic rocks from great heat and pressure as all other rocks can, melt into magma, the molten rock, and erode into sediment, which are rock fragments.
To form metamorphic rock from magma, first magma must intrude into existing rock layers. The heat and pressure generated by the magma will cause the surrounding rocks to recrystallize and change mineral composition, transforming into metamorphic rock. This process occurs deep within the Earth's crust and can take millions of years.

The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
The rock cycle describes how rocks are formed, and how they change to sedimentary rock, to metamorphic rock, to magma, to igneous rock, to sediment, and back to sedimentary rock.
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
metamorphic rock melts into magma and volcano erupts. lava hardens and cools

Yes. A metamorphic rock can be metamorphosed into a higher-grade metamorphic rock. It can be weather into sediment and re-lithified into a sedimentary rock, or it can melt then solidify to become an igneous rock.

Heat from magma and pressure from above ground.
