Introduction
Metamorphic Rocks are so cool it's like a robot. I'm going to tell you about Metamorphic rocks.

Where Metamorphic is Made
The heat makes it change to a newborn type of rock called a Metamorphic rock. The Metamorphic word's definition means changing form. Down in Earth, many miles under the surface, hot molten rocks forces the way upword through rocks into the solid rocks nearer the surface. The sunburn from the molten rocks flow in the solid rock to the tempature of hundreds of degrees and even a thousand degrees-Fahreinheit.

The Rock Cycle
In the rock cycle,metamorphic rocks and leading rocks are also reused into new rocks, which could be sedimentary or igneous rocks. Some other Sedimentary rocks such as a sandstone rock and a Clay rock, are made from other of the leading rocks being assembled together. Some igneous rocks are made when leading rocks melt and then cool again.

Metamorphic Life
The adventure for Metamorphic rocks begin with the leading types of rock. Metamorphic rocks can be Igneous rocks, Sedimentary rocks or even leading Metamorphic rocks. The rocks won't melt, but the minerals on the Metamorphic rocks are killed and crystals of other new minerals form. The rocks change to Metamorphic rocks when heated, or put under pressure. Not anything is added to rocks as the rocks change, and not anything is taken away.

Fun Facts
1. Metamorphic rocks change time after time by big pressure and heat. 2.Metamorphic rocks can be formed by pressure under the Earth's surface, from the extreme heat caused by the intense collisions and friction tectonic plates.

Amphibolite vs. Marble
I'm going to share with you the similarities of Amphibolite and Marble Metamorphic rocks. What Amphibolite and Marble have in common is that they are both Metamorphic rocks.
Here are the differences of Amphibolite and Marble. Amphibolite can be dark green or black however Marble could be light pink, green or gray. Amphibolite is found in USA, France, England, Germany and Scandinavia unlike Marble is found in China, Romania, Italy, Ireland, USA, Pakistan, Germany, India and Greece. Amphibolite is made from certain Igneous and Sedimentary rocks on the other hand Marble is made by Limestone or Dolomite.

Conclusion
One thing I know for certain is that you can learn Metamorphic rocks very easily. I hope you tell people about these Metamorphic rocks all over the world.
