Yes, pressure plays a crucial role in the formation of metamorphic rock. As sedimentary or igneous rock is buried deep within the Earth's crust, it is subjected to increasing pressure over time. This pressure, exerted by overlying layers of rock and the weight of the Earth's crust, causes the minerals within the rock to recrystallize, creating a new metamorphic rock with distinct texture and characteristics.
