What rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
What type of rocks are metamorphic rocks formed from?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from existing rocks that undergo changes in temperature, pressure, or chemical reactions due to processes like heat and pressure from deep within the Earth's crust. These existing rocks can be sedimentary, igneous, or even other metamorphic rocks that get transformed into a new type of rock.
How does a metamorphic rock turn into another type of metamorphic rock?
From increased pressure and/or heat. Fluid removal results in hydrous mineral destruction and non-hydrous mineral creation, resulting in rock of a different mineralogy. A metamorphic rock can be further metamorphosed by additional heat and/or pressure into a rock with a higher degree of metamorphism. An example of this would be the metamorphic rock slate changing into the metamorphic rock phyllite.
How can a sedimentary rock become a metamorphic rock?
When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock

Can metamorphic rocks be changed into other types of metamorphic rocks?
Yes, when the metamorphic rock melts and becomes magma there is a chance that it can become a new type of rock.
What rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
What type of rock can become sedimentary?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
Is volcanic rock the same as Metamorphic rock?
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.

What types of rocks can become sedimentary rock?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
What type of rock can be changed to metamorphic rock?
All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.

Does igneous rock have to become sedimentary rock before it can become metamorphic rock?
No, igneous rock can undergo metamorphism without becoming sedimentary rock first. Metamorphism can occur in any rock type (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic) when exposed to high temperature and pressure, leading to the formation of new minerals and textures.
