Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
Hazel Hammes
Any type of rock can potentially change into a metamorphic rock through the process of metamorphism, which involves heat, pressure, and chemical reactions. Common examples of rocks that can change into metamorphic rocks include shale (which can become slate), limestone (which can become marble), and granite (which can become gneiss).

Can any type of rock change?
Yes, because sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic and metamorphic can change into igneous rocks.
Can all rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
no
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
Can metamorphic rocks from from other metamorphic rocks?
Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.
What can you infer about metamorphic rocks from their names?
That they have undergone some form of change. For more information on metamorphic rocks please see the related question.
Can any type of rock change?
Yes, because sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic and metamorphic can change into igneous rocks.
Can all rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
no
What is rock that is changed by heat pressure or chemical change?
Metamorphic rocks have been changed by heat or pressure. This can be a change in size, shape, or arrangement of minerals.
How do you change granite from sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rocks?
Gneiss is a foilated metamorphic rock.
What type of rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
Ignitous rocks
How does sedimentry change into metamorphic?
Sedimentary rocks change under great pressure and temperature condition to form metamorphic rocks
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
When igneous and sedimentary rocks change then what happened next?
they change into metamorphic rocks
What can metamorphic rocks change into?
Greenschist, blueschist, zeolite, granulite and eclogite high grade metamorphic rocks.
How do igneous rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
How does metamorphic rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
by heat & pressure
