Understand that metamorphic rocks are those that have changed in some way by heat or pressure or both. Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments and igneous rocks are formed by fire. When these rocks change again, they become metamorphic. Marble is one type of metamorphic rock.Look at the way the grain are formed. In schist rocks, you can see that the layers and the grains all go the same way. Warning Metamorphic rocks are difficult to classify because different amounts of heat or pressure to the same rock can look different.
