Metamorphic Rocks. Transformation At Work. Metamorphic rocks are one of the three types of rock classifications, the other two being igneous and sedimentary. Rocks are classified by the processes under which they were formed. The differences in formation account for variations in the appearance of the rocks and, with some practice, you can learn to recognize the different types by sight. Metamorphic Rocks are rocks that have changed form due to heat and pressure. Metamorphic comes from the Greek words meta and morph. Meta means change and morph means form. So we get metamorphic meaning to change form. Metamorphic rocks were once sedimentary, igneous or even other metamorphic rocks that have been changed by heat and pressure.
