These two things are required for a metamorphic rock to form.
What are heat and pressure?
200
A rock that was sediment, then went under pressure, then was melted down and crystalized or cooled inside a volcano is this type of rock.

This is the powder left by a mineral dragged across a porcelain tile.
What is streak?
300
Igneous rock can be classified into these two groups.
