most metamophic rocks contain a high amount of oxygen and silicon
igneous rocks started as melted lava and cooled to be rocks. Metamorphic rock started as a sedimentary rock, and was heated up and put under pressure to create the metamorphic rock. Classic example - igneous = obsidian. Metamorphic = marble (marble is limestone that's been heated and squeezed a lot).
Metamorphic rocks are formed from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
No, sedimentary rocks generally have higher porosity than metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments, which can leave pore spaces between grains. Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, have been subjected to heat and pressure, which can close up or reduce the pore spaces, leading to lower porosity.
Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes the minerals in the original rocks to recrystallize into new forms, resulting in metamorphic rocks like marble, slate, and gneiss.
Metamorphic rocks are produced when other rocks are subjected to high temperature and pressure underground. This process causes their mineral composition, texture, and structure to change, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks like marble, slate, and schist.
how is metamorphic rock different than intrusive rock
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.

Most regional metamorphic rocks are formed in conditions within this range of geothermal gradients, passing through the greenschist facies to the amphibolites
Metamorphic rocks
They are both rocks
the metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and extreme pressure from other rocks
yes
Slate and marble are examples of metamorphic rocks. Other metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and quartzite. All metamorphic rocks are formed from other rock types.
Metamorphic rocks are made from cooling lava, Igneus rocks are made by heat and presure, and Sedimentary rocks are made by sand and/or other tiny broken off peaces of rocks being presurised together forming one single rock
Metamorphic rocks are naturally formed. they are formed from natural changes that happen to other rocks.
Metamorphic rocks are formed from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
