Metamorphic Rock

The rock that forms when existing rock is changed by heat, pressure, or chemicals

Real World Example

Imagine trying to transform a messy, cluttered room into a tidy, organized space. Just like how you reorganize and redecorate the room by rearranging furniture, adding new decor, or applying a fresh coat of paint, metamorphic rock forms when an existing rock undergoes transformation due to heat, pressure, or chemical processes. In this analogy, the existing rock is like the cluttered room, the heat and pressure are the rearranging and redecorating efforts, and the resulting metamorphic rock is the newly organized and refreshed room.
