Metamorphic rocks form deep in the earth where high temperature, great pressure, and chemical reactions cause one type of rock to change into another type of rock. Metamorphic rocks begin to form at 12-16 kilometers beneath the earth's surface. They can also form because of small pools of magma rising through the crust.
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.

metamorphic rock metamorphic rock, or metamorphism
The rock has undergone metamorphism. Metamorphism is the process in which the mineral composition and texture of a rock change in response to heat, pressure, or chemical reactions. This can result in the formation of new minerals and changes in the rock's appearance and physical properties.
A sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock when there is heat, pressure, and time. -over a long period of time
To change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock, you change it by time,heat, and pressure.
Metamorphic grade refers to the degree of metamorphic change a rock has undergone compared to its parent rock. It encompasses changes in mineralogy, texture, and structure that occur during the metamorphic process.
Heating and pressurization changes igneous and sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rock.
When rock changes into metamorphic rock, its appearance, texture, crystal structure, and mineral content change.
When rock changes into metamorphic rock, its appearance, texture, crystal structure, and mineral content change.
heat.
You need to increase heat and / or pressure for a metamorphic rock to form.
Any metamorphic rock can melt and recrystallize and become an igneous rock.
