Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that is formed from granite. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the transformation of existing rock types in a process called metamorphism, which means 'change in form'. The original rock (protolith) is subjected to heat and pressure causing profound physical and/or chemical change. In this case, the protolith is granite.
