• Metamorphism: Metamorphism is the process that transforms existing rocks into new metamorphic rocks with different mineral compositions and textures.
• Slate: Slate is a low-grade metamorphic rock formed from the metamorphism of shale or mudstone.
• Quartzite: Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from the metamorphism of quartz-rich sandstone, characterized by a hard, non-foliated texture.
• Marble: Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from the metamorphism of limestone or dolomite, characterized by a crystalline texture.
• Schist: Schist is a medium-grade metamorphic rock with a foliated texture, formed from the metamorphism of clay-rich rocks.
