Metamorphism and metamorphic rocks. Metamorphism is the recrystallization of minerals in pre-existing, parent, igneous or sedimentary rock (protolith). Takes place in response to changes in P and T as well as to fluids and deformation. This can happen because the lithosphere is dynamic and rocks may be buried or dragged to great depths by the motion in the lithosphere and then brought back up again. Causes of metamorphism. Heat and pressure are main causes.
