Answer 1

Explanation:

The main factors that control metamorphic processes are:

• The mineral composition of the parent rock.
• The temperature at which metamorphism takes place.
• The amount and type of pressure during metamorphism.
• The types of fluids (mostly water) that are present during metamorphism.

The amount of time available for metamorphism.
