How and where do metamorphic rocks form?
How does the pressure and temperature affect the formation of metamorphic rock?
High pressure and temperature can cause minerals in the rock to recrystallize or rearrange, leading to the formation of new minerals and a different texture. This process is called metamorphism, and depending on the conditions, can result in the formation of different types of metamorphic rocks such as slate or gneiss.
