    chemical and structural adjustments in solid rocks to physical and chemical conditions which have been imposed due to changes in pressure and temperature or both. Metamorphism occurs below the surface zones of weathering and cementation. Conditions of metamorphism differ from the conditions under which the rocks in question were originally formed. Metamorphism produced as a result of the progressive increase in temperature and pressure‚ i.e. by burial of a rock within the earth‚ is termed prograde metamorphism

    Lucky Koritela #23 The Rock Cycle The rock cycle begins when Earth’s plates shift around leaving gaps in between them making a volcano. The magma under Earth’s crust come through the gap and spill out of the volcano. Then the magma (lava) cools down and hardens into igneous rock. As time passes the igneous rock weathers (using substances such as water) away into little chips. After getting smaller‚ erosion (using elements such as wind) transports the little rocks to different places. The deposition
