About this document
Earth and Life Science Learning Activity Sheets Quarter 1 - Week 3B: Rock Metamorphism First Edition, 2021 by Dante Peneciba is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes metamorphic rocks and the process of metamorphism. Metamorphic rocks form from the change in other rocks due to heat, pressure, and fluids over long periods of time. The characteristics of metamorphic rocks are controlled by factors like the original rock type, amount of pressure and temperature, and presence of fluids. Metamorphism can occur at convergent plate boundaries or from magmatic intrusions, changing the minerals, textures, and foliation of the original rocks.
