The type of rock that will be formed is METAMORPHIC ROCK.
Metamorphic rocks are pre-existing rocks that are formed as a result of physical or chemical alteration by mean of heat and pressure. The process transform the rock into a denser, more compact rock. Examples of metamorphic rocks are marble, gneiss and schist. Metamorphic rocks can be formed from already existing igneous or sedimentary rock.
