Metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure.
Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure making changes to igneous and sedimentary rock.

Usually it is metamorphic rocks that are formed by heat and pressure, but sedimentary rocks can too. Usually, the word 'sedimentary' means 'of sediments' which means that it is composed of lots of layers upon layers compacting down. In that case, pressure is essential, but heat isn't always needed.
Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.
Metamorphic rock
The metamorphic rock quartzite would form due to the heat and pressure.
The heat (in the form of friction and pressure) affects the rock by performing a process called menstrual which changes the material of the rock, but not the mass.

Metamorphic Rock
Heat and pressure.
A metamorphic rock.
It is formed by the action of heat or pressure.
You need to increase heat and / or pressure for a metamorphic rock to form.
There are many ways to change and form it but the most common way the rock get the pressure and heat it needs to change and form is when the rock is beneath the Earth's surface (near the mantle where it's hot) and receive the pressure from all the rock layers above it.
