Metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture (distinct arrangement of minerals) in pre-existing rocks (protoliths), without the protolith melting into liquid magma (a solid-state change). The change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids.etamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture (distinct arrangement of minerals) in pre-existing rocks (protoliths), without the protolith melting into liquid magma (a solid-state change). The change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids.
The agents of these changes include intense heat and pressure and/or chemical actions of hot fluids. The word metamorphic means meta (change) and morphic (form) â to change the pre-existing rockâs form. All metamorphic rocks form through a solid-state transformation.
