Can you describe the 4 rocks formed by metamorphic grade which are Slate Phyllite Schist and Gneiss?

Slate is a low-grade metamorphic rock characterized by fine-grained foliated structure. Phyllite is intermediate-grade metamorphic rock with a greater degree of crystallization and foliation than slate. Schist is a medium-grade metamorphic rock with visible mineral grains and strong foliation. Gneiss is a high-grade metamorphic rock with distinct banding of light and dark minerals and high crystallization.


What four forces move the rocks through the rock cycle?

First a rock gets erupted within or on the Earth surface in the form of igneous rocks. Those are over time eroded away and deposited as sedimentary rocks. By subjecting these rocks to tremendous pressure and heat they metamorphose or change into metamorphic rocks which can eventually wind up in molten state and get re-introduced and erupt back as igneous rocks.
