Preasure (I mean just the force without compression movement of rock) CAN NOT cause any heat at all. I.e. first of all your rock have to lose its structure (must be crushed by itself) to be moved. Only after that the pressure could cause the heat. I.e. the compression process should begin.

P.S. I'm not so sure for the tech definitions above because English is not my motherlanguage as you may note already
