yes it is formed by heat AND pressure
No, high pressure alone cannot change an igneous rock into sedimentary rock; however, the reverse is true. High pressure can change sedimentary rock into igneous rock.
Metamorphic rocks are made by heat and pressure, and assuming this isn't a grown person, you SHOULD know that igneous rocks are formed by lava or magma that hardens, so it is when a metamorphic rock is melted, and then hardens. This creates igneous rock.
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
Sedimentary rock is formed when igneous rocks weather to sediments, then the sediments compact to sedimentary rock. When Igneous rocks are subjected to heat and pressure but do not melt, they become metamorphic rock. When igneous rocks are melted they make other igneous rocks.
A metamorphic rock is a rock that has changed form through heat and pressure so a igneous rock (made from molten material from the earth that has solidified) would change to metamorphic rock through heat and pressure.
an igneous or sedimentary rock that is changed by heat or pressure
No, high pressure alone cannot change an igneous rock into sedimentary rock; however, the reverse is true. High pressure can change sedimentary rock into igneous rock.
An igneous rock can change into a metamorphic rock with heat or pressure.
if the igneous rock is put under heat and pressure it turns into a metamorphic
Well The Igneous Rock: When it Forms Underground the Pressure combines with Large crystals :)

A metamorphic rock is made when an igneous or sedimentary rock undergoes heat and pressure for many years, changing it into another type of rock.
Exfoliated domes are typically made out of granite, a type of igneous rock. This rock type is resilient and can withstand the process of exfoliation, which involves the outer layers of the rock peeling away due to pressure release.
