Usually deep underground from heat and pressure, at regional metamorphic zones in areas of continental collisions, and in contact zones where parent rock is metamorphosed from proximity to an intrusive igneous body.

Is not a metamorphic agent?

Yes, pressure is a metaphoric agent along with heat, and hydrothermal solution. Rocks are classified by the process in which they are formed, meta means change and morph means form.

How do geologists classify metamorphic rock?

Geologists classify metamorphic rocks by the arrangements of the grains that make up the rocks.


What process creates metaphoric rocks?

Metaphoric rocks, more commonly known as metamorphic rocks, are formed through the process of metamorphism, which involves the alteration of existing rocks (either igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) under high temperature and pressure conditions. This process can occur deep within the Earth's crust or at tectonic plate boundaries, where heat and pressure cause physical and chemical changes in the rock's mineral composition and structure. The result is the transformation of the original rock into a new type of rock, often characterized by foliation or banding, such as schist or gneiss.


How does a metaphoric rock feel?

A metaphoric rock would not have physical sensations like touch or emotion, as it is not a living entity. In metaphorical terms, a rock can represent strength, stability, or resistance to change or emotion.
