Muunnuttavat
Muunnuttavat, also known as metamorphic rocks, are a type of rock that has been transformed from its original form through processes involving heat, pressure, and chemical reactions. These processes occur deep within the Earth's crust and can take millions of years to complete. The original rock, known as the protolith, can be any type of rock, including igneous, sedimentary, or even another metamorphic rock. The transformation typically happens due to tectonic activity, such as the collision of continental plates or the subduction of oceanic plates.
Metamorphic rocks are characterized by their foliated or non-foliated textures. Foliated rocks have a layered or
The metamorphic process can result in significant changes to the mineral composition of the rock. For instance,
Metamorphic rocks play a crucial role in the Earth's geological processes and are often found in mountainous
