How are metamorphic rocks made?
Actually, could you tell me more about the heat and pressure involved in their formation?
Certainly! Heat is often generated by the Earth's internal energy and can come from volcanic activity, burial, or compression. Pressure, on the other hand, can be caused by the weight of overlying rocks or tectonic movements. Both heat and pressure can cause physical and chemical changes in the original rock, leading to the formation of metamorphic rocks. Does that answer your question?
