What does metamorphism mean?
A geological process that involves the transformation of existing rocks into new rocks, often resulting in the formation of metamorphic minerals and textures. This process can occur due to high pressure and temperature conditions deep within the Earth's crust.
Example
"The geologist studied the metamorphism of the rocks in the mountain range to understand their formation and composition."
