Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The environment of deposition is a parameter that is relevant for determining the composition and texture of sedimentary rocks, but it is not a factor that influences the formation of metamorphic rocks. The other parameters listed (original rock composition, temperature and pressure, and abundance and composition of fluid) all play important roles in determining the mineral composition and texture of a metamorphic rock.
