They form from all rock types. That is, from pre-existing rocks of igneous, and sedimentary origin and even from already existed metamorphic rocks.

A metamorphic rock made from limestone?

Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone that has undergone intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. The process of metamorphism recrystallizes the original minerals in limestone to create the distinct crystalline structure and smooth texture of marble. Marble is valued for its beauty and is commonly used in architecture and sculpture.


What type of rock does limestone become when it turns into metamorphic rock?

Limestone is a sedimentary rock but due to metamorphosis it turns to Marble, a metamorphic rock.


Limestone is the parent rock of the non foliated metamorphic rock called?

Limestone is the parent of rock of non foliated metamorphic. This is a very old type of rock.


What type of rock is formed by putting limestone under heat and pressure?

By the metamorphosis of limestone, marble is formed. By the thermal decomposition of limestone, quicklime is formed. Which process depends on the temperature and pressure.


What type of metamorphic rock will you get from limestone?

You will get marble, a metamorphic rock, from limestone. Marble forms when limestone is subjected to heat and pressure, causing it to recrystallize and change in mineral composition.


What type of rocks form when when they are turning into metamorphic rock to sedimentary rock?

When limestone is changed it becomes what type of rock?

When limestone goes through heat and pressure, it becomes the metamorphic rock marble.


How does marble and other metamorphic rock from?

Marble is formed from limestone being buried, heated and subjected to pressure, causing minerals to recrystallise into different atomic structures, forming different minerals to the original limestone. In laymans terms this is the process that occurs to form all metamorphic rocks. The type of metamorphic rock formed is dependant on the chemical and mineral composition of the source rock, and the amount of heat and pressure the source rock is subjected to.
