this is totally math :D

Well, for limestone we can set up the equation limestone+heat/pressure=metamorphic rock. Now, we need to find the of type(s) of metamorphic rock that forms, and we get travertine or marble.

We can then substitute limestone with any other of the rocks in the equation. Shale+heat/pressure=slate
Sandstone+heat/pressure=quartzite
Granite+heat/pressure=gneiss
