Earth's heat and pressure caused by the heavy rocks above them.
Fossils are sometimes found in slightly metamorphosed rocks. When too much heat and pressure are added, the fossils tend to be destroyed.
It isn't porpous. That means it's hard for water to get through
They can all end up deep below Earth's surface.
Regional metamorphic rock
phyllite, gneiss, marble, schist
Marble
Garnet is common in the metamorpic rock called schist
Heat and pressure
It forms when a rock changes due to heat and pressure.
It is ery strong, so it's often used in buildings and statues.
Gneisses
Dislocation (moving) metamorphism occurs
It means "to change".
They are any rocks that have been changed by heat, pressure, or a combination of these forces
Contact metamorphic rock
It is Greek
NO melting occurs during metamorphism
gneiss
Venus de Milo
