What is Metamorphism: Mineral Changes in Rocks about?

The document discusses changes in mineral components and texture of rocks due to metamorphism, focusing on foliation and two types of metamorphism: contact and regional. Contact metamorphism occurs near hot igneous bodies, transforming existing rocks through intense heat, while regional metamorphism happens at tectonic plate margins under greater heat and pressure. Examples include the transformation of limestone to marble and quartz to quartzite.
