Why do igneous and sedimentry rocks sometimes get change?What are the new rocks called?Give example.
If the original igneous and sedimentary rock is subjected to heat (greater than 150 degree Celcius) and pressure (greater than 1500 bars), it changes into new a new type of rock. The new rock type is called metamorphic rock. Examples are change of granite into gneiss and the change of shale into slate.
