Answer:
Metamorphic rocks are formed when rock changes over a period of time due to a lot of physical changes like pressure, heat and different chemical activity. When sedimentary rocks or igneous rocks go through the physical process such as pressure exposure, heat changes, and tectonic plate movement at plate edges. This rock changes occur when these rocks are exposed to an environment.

- What Is Metamorphic Rock ?
- Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock to new types of rock, in a process called metamorphism
Metamorphic rocks have undergone changes in their mineralogical composition and texture due to increasing temperature and pressure (metamorphism) within the earth's crust. All rocks (magmatic, sedimentary, metamorphic) may be subject to metamorphism.
