Metamorphic rocks can be turned into igneous rocks through the process of melting, followed by cooling and solidification. This process is known as partial melting. When metamorphic rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, some minerals within the rock may begin to melt while others remain solid. The molten minerals can then rise to the surface and cool down, forming new igneous rocks.
