What is an example of a metamorphic rock?

Answer 1

One of the most popular metamorphic rocks is marble. Originally limestone, marble is generally created through regional metamorphism, which is when pressure and heat from where magma is pushing up through the Earth's crust effect rocks which are close by, but not actually touching the magma. Contact metamorphism changes the rocks that do actually touch the magma, this is how shale is usually metamorphosed into gneiss.

Answer 2

Marble is a common example of a metamorphic rock. It forms from the metamorphism of limestone, typically under high temperatures and pressures. Marble is known for its distinct crystalline structure and variety of colors.

Answer 3

Slate is an example of a metamorphic rock that was previously shale, a sedimentary rock.

Answer 4

The transformation of limestone or dolostone into the metamorphic rock marble is accomplished usually be heat and pressure due to the collisions of tectonic plates.
