What type of rocks are metamorphic rocks formed from?

Metamorphic rocks are formed from existing rocks that undergo changes in temperature, pressure, or chemical reactions due to processes like heat and pressure from deep within the Earth's crust. These existing rocks can be sedimentary, igneous, or even other metamorphic rocks that get transformed into a new type of rock.


What is the characteristics of the metamorphic rocks in each of these classifications how describe how much more fake rocks are classified and what are the characteristics of the rocks in each of thes?

Metamorphic rocks are classified into two main categories: foliated and non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks, such as schist and gneiss, exhibit a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of mineral grains under directed pressure. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks, like marble and quartzite, lack this layering and are typically composed of a single mineral or a more uniform texture. The classification of metamorphic rocks is based on their texture, mineral composition, and the conditions under which they formed, such as temperature and pressure.

How much of earth's surface do igneous and metamorphic rock cover?

Igneous and metamorphic rocks collectively cover about 80% of the Earth's surface. Igneous rocks are primarily found in oceanic crust, while metamorphic rocks are prevalent in continental crust, particularly in mountain ranges formed by tectonic activity. The remaining 20% of the Earth's surface is primarily covered by sedimentary rocks, which are found in sedimentary basins and on continental shelves.
