Rocks change underground primarily due to temperature, pressure, and the presence of fluids. Increased temperature can facilitate metamorphic processes, while elevated pressure can cause physical deformation and mineral transformation. Additionally, fluids like water or carbon dioxide can enhance chemical reactions, leading to mineral changes and the formation of new rock types. These variables interact in complex ways, driving the rock cycle and altering geological formations over time.
Metamorphic rocks are formed underground through the process of heat and pressure altering existing rocks. When rocks are buried deep in the Earth's crust, they are subjected to high temperatures and pressures that cause their mineral composition and texture to change. This results in the formation of metamorphic rocks from pre-existing igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks.
Underground
Most metamorphism takes place deep underground, where high heat and pressure change the rocks, since both increase with depth.
Lava
It is impossible to determine the exact number of rocks underground as the amount can vary greatly depending on the location and geological conditions. Rocks are constantly forming and shifting in the Earth's crust, so the number is always changing.
Impermeable rocks are those that trap water and do not allow it to pass through due to their low permeability. These rocks effectively act as barriers, preventing the movement of water underground.
Oceans push rocks underground to form caverns.
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.
Metamorphic rocks are produced by changing other rocks with temperature and pressure underground.

Because the rocks underground clash together and they are big rocks so it is going to shake and move
