Metamorphic rocks are buried deep inside Earth. There is enough heat and pressure to change the rocks, but not enough to melt it into magma. Metamorphic rocks can form adjacent to layers of magma, because of the generated heat, however
Metamorphic rock forms by the pressure on large masses of rock, causing the existing minerals in the rock to recrystallize without melting, resulting in new minerals and textures. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
No, clastic sedimentary rock with very large particles is not metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock is formed from existing rock that has been changed by heat and pressure. Clastic sedimentary rock, on the other hand, is formed from the accumulation and cementation of broken rock fragments.
Igneous rocks, such as granite or diorite, are formed when large masses of magma solidify far below Earth's surface. These rocks have a coarse texture due to the slow cooling process, allowing large mineral crystals to form.

Large amounts of fallen rock are called "talus."But Rock avalanche is a proper term, as is Rock slide, or rockfall.
metamorphic rock
Rock formed by heat and pressure becomes transformed and altered, such rock is called Metamorphic Rock.
It is called a metamorphic rock.
quarts are formed by heat and pressure in the mantle.
Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.
A rock is always formed by heat and pressure it always starts out with heat and pressure......
It is metamorphic Rock.
Igneous rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, not from pressure. Pressure plays a role in metamorphic rock formation, where existing rocks are subjected to high pressures and temperatures.
