they form by heat and presssure
Frictional heat, radioactive disintegration/decay, magmatic heat, geothermal gradient, load-pressure effect.
Some examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, schist, and gneiss. These rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to high pressure and temperature underground.
Metamorphic rocks are igneous or sedimentary rocks that have been transformed by great heat or pressure caused by movement in the Earth's crust.Examples include schist, gneiss, and slate
Metamorphic foliated rocks form under conditions of high pressure and temperature, typically within the Earth's crust. As pre-existing rocks (either igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) undergo metamorphism, their minerals are realigned due to differential stress, creating a layered or banded appearance. This alignment occurs as minerals such as mica, schist, and gneiss develop parallel orientation, resulting in the characteristic foliation. The process often involves recrystallization, where minerals change in size and shape without melting.
At a convergent boundary, the process of subduction plays a critical role in forming metamorphic rocks. As one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, it encounters increased pressure and temperature conditions, leading to metamorphism of the rocks involved. Additionally, the intense heat and pressure can cause existing rocks to recrystallize and change their mineral composition, resulting in the formation of various types of metamorphic rocks.
metemorphic rock
yes
im not really sure
Metamorphic rocks are used for so many different things. They are commonly used to make slate which is used for roofing and marble which is used t make counter tops among other uses.
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
No. Marble is a Metamorphic rock.
