  • Understanding Metamorphic Rocks: Formation, Types & Examples
    This question is a bit tricky! It's like asking "what type of fruit is an apple?".

    Metamorphic rock is a type of rock, not a specific kind. It's a broad category like "fruit".

    Here's the breakdown:

    * Rocks are classified by how they formed.

    * Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been changed from their original form (igneous or sedimentary) by heat and pressure.

    * Specific examples of metamorphic rocks include:

    * Marble (from limestone)

    * Slate (from shale)

    * Gneiss (from granite)

    So, to answer your question properly, you need to be more specific about which metamorphic rock you're interested in!
