Text and Images from Slide
- Mountain-building processes uplift and expose metamorphic rocks at the surface as erosion removes overlying rocks.
- Once formed, metamorphic rocks do not revert back to the original minerals at Earth's surface. There is not sufficient temperature, pressure, fluid, or time to promote the necessary reverse reactions.
