Metamorphic rocks are made from pre-existing rocks that have been altered by heat, pressure, and/or chemical processes within the Earth's crust. These changes cause the minerals and textures of the original rock to recrystallize, forming a new rock with different properties.
A gneiss is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are created by the alteration of rocks by heat and pressure. Therefore, a gneiss may be created from an igneous rock in which case it would be called an orthogneiss.
