How do you identify metamorphic rock?

Answer 1

If you have an actual rock this is a good website: http://geology.csupomona.edu/alert/metamorphic/metaid.htm If it's just a question you need to answer, go here: http://facweb.bhc.edu/academics/science/harwoodr/GEOL101/labs/metamorf/

Answer 2

Metamorphic rocks can be identified by their banded or foliated texture, which results from the rearrangement of mineral grains under heat and pressure. They may also exhibit distorted or elongated mineral grains due to the physical changes they undergo during metamorphism. Chemical changes may cause the rocks to have new minerals that are not present in the original rock.

Answer 3

You check its hardness, luster, clevage, color, and streak.
