Because metamorphic rocks from very deep underground, they have to be brought to the surface by some geologic processes before they are exposed. There are many processes that could do this, but the most common is a mountain building event. Mountainous areas often have very large areas of exposed metamorphic rocks.

Where in the Bronx can one find igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
If you can find an open piece of dirt, you can find rocks. All rocks fallinto those three categories. If you find a flat, smooth piece of rock, you might have found slate, a metamorphic rock. However, most metamorphic rocks are hard to find in the New York area, as there are few plate tectonics in these parts. Anyhow, look for rocks and use this rock key: http://www.rockhounds.com/rockshop/rockkey/index.html
