Explanation:
Metamorphism occurs when solid rock changes in composition and/or texture without the mineral crystals melting, which is how igneous rock is generated. ... Rock texture is changed by heat, confining pressure, and a type of pressure called directed stress.
or
Metamorphism is a process of mineral assemblage and texture variation that results from the physical-chemical changes of solid rocks, caused by factors such as crust movement, magma activity, or thermal fluid change in the earth.

Answer:
Metamorphic process - apex
- The term "metamorphic process apex" describes the utmost degree of transformation a rock can go through before ceasing to change into a different kind.
- Through the process of metamorphism, previous rocks are transformed into new forms as a result of rises in temperature, pressure, and chemically active fluids.
- Igneous, sedimentary, and other metamorphic rocks may all be affected by metamorphism.
- Recrystallization describes how the rock's particle size changes during the metamorphism process.
- For instance, in the metamorphic rock marble, the tiny calcite crystals that are present in the sedimentary rocks limestone and chalk grow to become bigger crystals.
