metamorphism

The process of heat and pressure changing one type of rock into another is called metamorphism.

The correct answer is metamorphism. When heat and pressure act on rocks, the minerals within the rocks can undergo chemical and physical changes, leading to the formation of new types of rocks. This process is known as metamorphism. To arrive at this answer, you can use your knowledge of geology or conduct a quick search using a reliable search engine.
