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.

Hello:) anyone able to help me with the 3rd point? I don’t understand it :( thank you !
Stels [109]

The two tectonic plates meet at point one. One is moving under the other, shown by the two arrows on the top pointing towards each other. The denser plate (left side) is subducted. This means the denser plate begins to go under the less dense plate. The lithosphere (crust/tectonic plate) is mainly solid rock. As it begins to go into the mantle it will begin to heat up as the mantle is hotter than the surface. The solid surface becomes a molten rock, known as magma. It melts as it goes down.
