Metamorphism involves the alteration of the mineralogical and structural characteristics of rocks due to changes in temperature, pressure, and chemically active fluids. This process can lead to recrystallization, foliation, and the formation of new minerals, often resulting in a denser and more stable rock. Common examples include the transformation of limestone into marble and shale into schist. Overall, metamorphism enhances the rock's strength and alters its appearance.
