Metamorphic rocks form deep within the Earth when heat and pressure are applied to either igneous rocks or sedimentary rocks. This heat and pressure in essence cooks the rocks, changing their structure substantially. The rocks are partially melted and the chemicals within them are rearranged so that the final rock is very different than the original rock.
