Metamorphic Rocks

Explore the transformation of rocks through metamorphism, from shale evolving into slate, phyllite, and schist. Discover the non-foliated anthracite coal and the formation of quartzite and marble. Learn about different types of metamorphism, including contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism, as well as the effects of folding during mountain building.
