Because metamorphic rocks from very deep underground, they have to be brought to the surface by some geologic processes before they are exposed. There are many processes that could do this, but the most common is a mountain building event. Mountainous areas often have very large areas of exposed metamorphic rocks.
What else can I help you with?
Why would you not expect to find a metamorphic rock in the recesses of the earth?
You WOULD expect to find metamorphic rocks in the recesses (deep layers) of the Earth's crust. But not in the mantle or core. Metamorphic means changed - and rocks - either sedimentary or igneous - get changed by the heat and pressures found in the deep crust.
Where can you find metamorphic rocks in Britain?
Metamorphic rocks are nonexistent in central and Eastern England. Good places are hilly regions where rocks have been deformed by tectonic collisions. The best places for this are the Scottish-English border, Cornwall and Western Devon. I recommend the free smart phone app 'iGeology' from the British Geological Survey for more information.
Where I could find metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can be found in mountain ranges where tectonic plates collide, such as the Himalayas and the Rockies, due to the intense heat and pressure that occur during mountain-building processes. They are also commonly located in areas with exposed crust, such as cliffs or road cuts, where geological processes have uplifted these rocks to the surface. Additionally, metamorphic rocks can often be found in regions that have experienced significant geological activity, such as near fault lines or volcanic regions.
What three major classes of rock would you expect to find as bedrock in Mt Shasta?
The three major classes of rock that you would expect to find as bedrock in Mount Shasta are metamorphic rocks, igneous rocks (such as andesite, dacite, and basalt), and sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic rocks would likely include schist, gneiss, and marble, while igneous rocks might be found in the form of lava flows and volcanic rocks. Sedimentary rocks like limestone and sandstone could also be present in the region.
Where in the Bronx can one find igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
If you can find an open piece of dirt, you can find rocks. All rocks fallinto those three categories. If you find a flat, smooth piece of rock, you might have found slate, a metamorphic rock. However, most metamorphic rocks are hard to find in the New York area, as there are few plate tectonics in these parts.

Would you be less like to find fossils in metamorphic rocks than in sedimentary rocks?
Yes.
What type of rocks and rock formation would you find in India?
Some of the types of rocks and rock formation that someone would find in India would be sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks, igneous rocks, peak, and stack rocks.
Why aren't you likely to find a fossil in metamorphic or igneous rocks?
the fossils would be turned into another rock if it was in a metamorphic rock or igneous rocks. it requires a blanket of sediment
Where do you find metamorphic rocks?
you find them in the water

What forces do you always find present in the formation of metamorphic rocks?
Heat is always present in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
Would you find fossils in metamorphic rock?
You can but it very very rare. you are more likely to find them in sedimentary rocks.
Would metamorphic rocks in the Himalayans be in large areas?
Yes, that is a common rock type you will find there
Where can someone find information on metamorphic rocks?
One can find information on metamorphic rocks in any Geology book. One can also find information on metamorphic rocks online on Wikipedia, Library Think Quest and Science Kids New Zealand websites.
