Metamorphic rocks. Metamorphism is the alteration of pre-existing rocks in the solid state due to changes in temperature and pressure. Under increasing temperature and / or pressure existing minerals become unstable and break down to form new minerals.In the case of regional metamorphism the rocks are subjected to tectonic forces which provide the necessary mechanisms for metamorphism. Products include schist and slate.nder increasing temperature and / or pressure existing minerals become unstable and break down to form new minerals.
