Formation
of
Metamorphic
Rocks
Metamorphic
rocks
are
formed
from
any
type
of
rock
that
changes
as
a
result
of
intense
heat
and
pressure
in
the
Earth’s
crust.
For
example,
as
sedimentary
shale
is
exposed
to
more
heat
and
pressure,
it
changes
into
different
types
of
metamorphic
rocks.

metamorphism
occurs
when
rocks
come
in
contact
with
magma.
Regional
metamorphism
occurs
when
intense
pressure,
such
as
mountain
formation,
changes
large-scale
areas
of
rocks.
Classifying
Metamorphic
Rocks
Metamorphic
rocks
are
classified
as
foliated
or
nonfoliated.
The
texture
of
nonfoliated
metamorphic
rocks
is
not
arranged
in
bands.
Examples
include
marble,
that
is
formed
from
limestone,
and
quartzite,
that
begins
as
sandstone.
