Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary or other metamorphic rocks) through intense heat and/or pressure. This process causes physical and chemical changes in the rock, resulting in a new rock with altered texture, mineral composition, and structure. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments and particles, while igneous rocks form from the solidification of molten material (magma or lava). Ancient and clastic are not relevant terms in this context.
