Metamorphic Rocks are formed two ways:

Regional Metamorphism

Contact Metamorphism

In regional, two plates collide and through pressure and friction to change igneous rock to metamorphic.

In contact (more familiar to me) lava (hot liquid?) contacts any type of rock and doesn't not melt but sorta loosens it up so the crystals inside can rearrange.

Rock formed by changes in heat and pressure or the presence of hot or watery fluids?

Metamorphic rock forms when existing rock is subjected to intense heat, pressure, or chemically active fluids, causing it to recrystallize and form new minerals. This process can transform existing rock types like sedimentary or igneous rocks into metamorphic rocks like marble, slate, or schist.

What Heat pressure and hot watery fluids applied to solid rock change it into what rock?

Heat, pressure, and hot watery fluids can transform solid rock into metamorphic rock through a process called metamorphism. This process alters the mineral composition and texture of the original rock, known as the parent rock or protolith. Common examples of metamorphic rocks include schist, gneiss, and marble, which originate from shale, granite, and limestone, respectively.
