    Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have changed composition and structure due to heat, pressure, or chemical processes occurring deep within the Earth. They form from existing rock types that are altered by metamorphic processes like heat, pressure, and contact with chemicals and fluids. Some examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, quartzite, and schist. Metamorphic rocks are useful for construction purposes because their non-porous nature prevents water absorption.
