Answer:
Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing igneous and sedimentary rocks are changed by great pressure or intensive heat or both. The physical properties, appearance and chemical composition of the new rock is much different from the original rock. These rocks are very hard.

- Granite changes into gneiss.
- Sandstone changes into quartzite.
