Some uses for granite rock are counter tops, tile, and landscaping rocks. Granite is also used for making monuments, buildings, and to make curling stones.
used in counter tops
Greenschist, blueschist, zeolite, granulite and eclogite high grade metamorphic rocks.
A metamorphic rock formed from Basalt is Schist. a.k.a. Green Schist
Slate, gneiss, skarn, phyllite, amphibolite, schist, quartzite, marble, and granulite are all metamorphic rocks.
no it's foliated
Usually a grayish color. Dark gray.

Schist is the highest grade metamorphic rock of those listed in the question.

First gneis and then granulite

Gneissic texture is used to identify the highest grade of metamorphic rock that still displays foliation. Granulite is the highest grade metamorphic rock, period, but does not display foliation due to the instability of sheet silicates.

Answering "What process changes igneous rocks into metamorphic types?"Igneous rocks convert into metamorphic due to extreme pressure and heat, which can come from magma/lava or the movement of tectonic plates. For example, the igneous rock basalt eventually turns into the metamorphic rock granulite.
