1. The metamorphic rocks are produced when the parent or the pre-existing rocks (whether sedimentary, igneous, or even metamorphic) are changed by pressure, heat, and the chemical activity of the fluids.
When the prime changing factor is heat, generally due to direct contact, it may go through fundamental modification in recrystallization and texture is known as contact metamorphism. While regional metamorphism takes place when the minerals and texture of the rock are modified by pressure and heat.
