Answer:
The word metamorphic means "of changed form." Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been changed from one form, such as igneous or sedimentary, to another. This can occur when a given rock is exposed to intense heat, pressure, or hot fluids.

If rocks are exposed to the maximum possible heat and pressure their volume will decrease first
The temperature of the rocks will then increase if more and more heat is applied then the rock will heat up till the point it become magma and will soften the surrounding surface and then it will flow to the cooler surface.
