Answer/Explanation:

Metamorphic rocks, formed by temperature and pressure changes inside the Earth. All three types of rock make up the Earth's lithosphere, the outermost layer. Metamorphic rocks result when existing rocks are changed by heat, pressure, or reactive fluids, such as hot, mineral-laden water.
