Metamorphic rock is formed deep within the Earth's crust from existing rock that is subjected to high pressure, temperature, and/or chemical processes. This typically occurs in the presence of mountain-building processes or in subduction zones.
Metamorphic rock forms at depths between 2 and 70 miles, shallower at areas of tectonic compression or shearing, deeper from overburden pressure and heat only.
