Metamorphic Rock
The journey of metamorphic rocks begins with other types of rocks. They can be igneous, sedimentary rock, or even metamorphic rocks. The rocks can change to metamorphic rock when they are heated or go under pressure.

Rock Cycle
In the rock cycle, metamorphic rocks are recycled into new rocks which may be sedimentary or igneous. The heat is what makes the change for these rocks to turn into metamorphic rocks.
