Metamorphic Rocks and Their Properties

This video from MooMooMath and Science explores metamorphic rocks, which form from existing rocks under extreme heat and pressure. It explains how sedimentary, igneous, and even metamorphic rocks can transform into new metamorphic rocks. The video distinguishes between foliated and non-foliated metamorphic rocks, providing examples such as slate, marble, quartzite, gneiss, and schist, along with their parent rocks. The video concludes with a call to explore more resources and subscribe for daily educational content.
