Detailed explanation-1: -Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.
Detailed explanation-2: -Metamorphic rocks form when sedimentary, igneous, or pre-existing metamorphic rocks are changed by heat, pressure, and chemically reactive waters. These rocks are identified by their minerals and texture.
Detailed explanation-3: -Metamorphic rocks are formed by the alteration of pre-existing rocks from exposure to heat and pressure while remaining in a solid form. Metamorphism occurs by breaking bonds between atoms in a mineral so that the atoms rearrange themselves into new, more stable, mineral forms.
Detailed explanation-4: -Regional Metamorphism-This type of metamorphism occurs over large areas that were subjected to high degrees of deformation under differential stress. Thus, it usually results in forming metamorphic rocks that are strongly foliated, such as slates, schists, and gneisses.
