the word "metamorphic"is derived from greek which wean changing form.Therefore metamorphic rocks are the rocks which are formed when one type of rock changes into another type after having been subjected under intense heat or pressure.the process of changing one rock type to another rock is calle rock cycle
What else can I help you with?
Which of the following is NOT an example of metamorphic rock marble gneiss slate shale?
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.
Can any type of rock become a metamorphic rock?
Yes, any type of rock can become a metamorphic rock through the process of heat and pressure transforming its mineral composition and texture. This includes igneous, sedimentary, and even existing metamorphic rocks.
What type of rock will the metamorphic rock most likely transform into?
Metamorphic rocks can transform into other metamorphic rocks through the process of recrystallization under high pressure and temperature conditions. The specific type of rock it transforms into will depend on the composition of the original rock and the conditions of metamorphism.
What is a protolith?
A metamorphic rock changes from one form to another by intense heat or pressue. The parent rock, or protolith, is the rock that undergoes change. It can be any rock type, sedimentary, igneous, and even metamorphic.
