When rocks are heated, they can undergo metamorphism, where their mineral composition and texture change due to high heat and pressure. This process can lead to the formation of new minerals and rock types, such as slate from shale or marble from limestone.
If it is squeezed and heated sufficiently to realign the minerals or form new minerals, it is called a metamorphic rock. If it is squeezed and heated enough to melt, then solidify, it would be called an igneous rock.
The type of rocks formed from existing rocks that have been squeezed and heated deep inside Earth's crust are called metamorphic rocks. This transformation occurs through a process known as metamorphism, which alters the mineral composition and structure of the original rocks, known as parent rocks. Common examples of metamorphic rocks include schist, gneiss, and marble.
The large rocks on the hillside are heated by the Sun's rays. The rocks absorb the sunlight and retain heat, which warms them up during the day.
Rocks formed from sand, rocks, and shells are known as sedimentary rocks. Sandstones, mudstones, and limestone are common examples of sedimentary rocks that can be formed from these materials.
Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are subjected to high heat and pressure, causing them to recrystallize into new forms without melting. This process typically occurs deep within the Earth's crust or mantle.
Sedimentary rocks are heated and pressed together.
Metamorphic rocks are formed when the minerals in a rock are change chemically. Normally these rocks are near magma and get heated up, but do not melt.
If it is squeezed and heated sufficiently to realign the minerals or form new minerals, it is called a metamorphic rock. If it is squeezed and heated enough to melt, then solidify, it would be called an igneous rock.

A metamorphic rock formed where rocks have been heated but not deformed is called a contact metamorphic rock. This type of rock forms when existing rocks are altered by the heat from nearby magma without experiencing significant pressure or deformation. Examples include hornfels and marble.
quicklime is formed when lmesone is heated
Yes, rocks can change from any type.Igneous rocks can be compressed and change into a Metamorphic.Sedimentary and Metamorphic can be heated and compressed together to form any kind of Metamorphic.Sedimentary rocks can be formed from chips of an Igneous rock.And so forth. . .
Metamorphic rocks are naturally formed. they are formed from natural changes that happen to other rocks.
