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 two processes that form metamorphic rocks are: 1) tectonic plates collide to apply elevated pressures and temperatures to preexisting rocks that transform those rocks into different rocks, and 2) elevated temperatures heat preexisting rocks that transform those rocks into different rocks.
