Here's a breakdown:
* Metamorphic means "changed form."
* Intense heat and pressure are the key ingredients in the process.
* No melting is crucial. If the rock melts, it becomes magma, which then cools and solidifies to form igneous rock.
Some common examples of metamorphic rocks include:
* Marble: Formed from limestone.
* Slate: Formed from shale.
* Gneiss: Formed from granite.
* Quartzite: Formed from sandstone.
