Yes it can.
Under metamorphism,which high heat or pressure is applied to the igneous rock,the igneous rock’s chemical composition or texture will be different from that of it's parent rock and turn into a metamorphic rock.
In your case,an igneous rock would undergo metamorphism where large scale mountain building process take place such as folding and faulting,and the rock would be under very high pressure,hence turn into a foliated structure. The metamorphism is called dynamic or regional metamorphism if you want to know.
For example, an igneous rock,granite, will turn into gneiss under metamorphism in which high pressure take place.

"This divide runs from Cape Prince of Wales in western Alaska, through the Rocky Mountains of western Canada and the continental United States, then through the Sierra Madre Occidenal mountains in Mexico, through central America and along the Andes Mountains or South America"
Continental Polar and Maritime Polar ; Polar had a direct connotation with the cold. :)
The poles receive more direct sunshine so it has to do with the angle that the light hits. The Earth is round and when light hits it the light wraps around the earth. At the poles the light is very stretched and at the equator it is very direct hence it is hotter at the poles.
