Metamorphic rocks are rocks changed from one form to another by intense heat, intense pressure,
and/or the action of hot fluids.

Some types of rock that are parent/ photolith of metamorphic could be sedimentary- Metamorphic metamorphic- metamorphic or igneous - metamorphic. Sedimentary is when limestone could become marble.

Protolith or parent rock is the rock type that a metamorphic rock was before it was subjected to metamorphic conditions.
Protoliths can be any rock from the three main rock categories:
Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic

It could change with heat and presser.

Metamorphic rocks are changed by intease heat, action of hot fluilds and thats how they are changed.

Metamorphic rocks can be made from sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks.

Igneous,Sedimentary,and Metamorphic rock can all turn into Metamorphic rock.Some other rocks are Slate,Gneiss,Schist,and Phyllite.

metamorphic rocks are changed by heat ,pressure and hot fluids like lava and magma

Igneous, sedimentary, or even other metamorphic rocks are parent/protolith rocks to metamorphic rocks. Knowing these parent rock help us classify the rocks. We can classify them further by their texture. Some examples of this process are: heat and pressure being applied to shale, then turning it into slate. Slate is then turned into phyllite through the same process. This process changes the rock to schist.

Metamorphic rocks can change into a parent/protolith rock. Here is a example. Gneiss is a type of foliated rock which used to be granite. Sorry if I get this wrong.

Igneous,Sedimantary, And Metamorphic can all be formed into metamorphioc rock with heat and pressure.

Rocks which typically form as a result of regional metamorphism: slate, phyllite, schist, gneiss, and migmatite. These rocks can all be changed due to heat and/or pressure!

Metamorphic is changed by heat and very hot liquid that will change it.

Well I think limestone is a parent rock of marble because heat gets added to the limestone and it makes marble. Same with shale and slate.

Sedimentary, Igneous, and metamorphic rock with heat it can make a different type of metamorphic rock.

Sedimentary,metamorphic and Igneous rock can all Turn into Metamorphic rock

Lily G. said...

All rocks such as Igneous, Sedimentary can be made into metamorphic with gravity and heat.

They are caled prodolit ,foldation, nonfoldation, regional metamorphism. some of the rocks are called slate chalk or shale these are jusw.

Protolith or parent rock is the rock type that a metamorphic rock was before it was subjected to metamorphic conditions. Metamorphic grade refers to the temperature and pressure under which a rock was metamorphosed, considered low grade or high grade.

The parent or protolith rock is a rock that hasn't gone through the metamorphic changes yet. Limestone is the protolith rock of marble.

they are rocks that has not gone through the metamophic chancges

parent and protolith rocks are rocks that haven't had any metamorphic changes.

The type's of rock that are parent/protolith, rock's to metamorphic are, contract and regilion. Sedimentary can change into metamorphic.

Brendan Dunphy said...

The parent or protolitch is a rock that hasn't been exposed to extreme heat and pressure. Limestone if the parent/protalith of marble.

Inagas rock can go threw a metamorfic stage

The rocks that can turn into metamorphic rocks are: sedimentary, protolith, and igneous.

The rocks that can be changed can be marble, and gneiss

Well, its called protolith. That is the Mummy rock. All rocks can turn into other rocks by heat and pressure.

Tristin R said...

Parent/protolitch is a rock that hasn't gone through the metamorphic changes yet. Some examples of this are Limestoen,marble.

Brian Wakem said...

Any type of possible rock in the world can become metamorphic rock.

Anonymous said...

Any rock can become a metamorphic rock. To become a metamorphic rock the rock must undergo heat and/or pressure, but not so much that the rock melts. Should the rock melt it would become an igneous rock.

Brian Wakem said...

Adding to my comment that Any type of possible rock in the world can become metamorphic rock.
I mean that an igneous rock can become a metamorphic rock a gneiss rock can sedimentary rock can be come metamorphic.

thomas said...

Protolith is a rock that has not gone through metamorphic changes yet. all types can turn into metamorphic rocks Like limestone is protolith and it goes through metamorphic changes then turns into marble. also like genies turns into granite,slat turns into shale.

Protolith rocks are the parent rock to a rock that has undergone changes in the tock cycle. In other words, what a rock was before it changed. In the case of metamorphic rock, there are many possible protolith rocks. Granite, an igneous rock can undergo heat and pressure and turn into gneiss, a metamorphic rock. Slate, and already metamorphic rock can undergo more metamorphic changes and turn into shale. Similarly, slate (metamorphic) can turn into schist. Finally, limestone (sedimentary) can turn into marble.

Channing C-WEB said...

Protolith means a rock that was a form but different now. For example, gniess can turn into granite.
