Can one type of rock turn into another type of rock? Yes, if that rock is in the right place at the right time! The word metamorphic means “changed in form”, which is why it used to describe rocks that have changed! Metamorphic rock is rock that has had its appearance changed by extreme pressure and heat. Ground water, gases, and other fluids seeping into rocks can also cause changes. Sounds cool?
