Here's why:
* Metamorphism is the process of changing existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or even other metamorphic rocks) into new rocks through intense heat and pressure.
* This process doesn't melt the rock completely (like in magma formation), but it does transform the rock's mineral composition, texture, and sometimes even its chemical composition.
