Explanation:
Metamorphism usually involves slow changes to rocks in the solid state, as atoms or ions diffuse out of unstable minerals that are breaking down in the given pressure and temperature conditions and migrate into new minerals that are stable in those conditions.

- Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means " change in form".
- Metamorphism usually involves slow changes to rocks in the solid state, as atoms or ions diffuse out of unstable minerals that are breaking down in the given pressure and temperature conditions and migrate into new minerals that are stable in those conditions.
- They form the roots of many mountain chains and are exposed to the surface after the softer outer layers of rocks are eroded away.
