What supplied the massive pressure and heat needed to make metamorphic rocks?
The heat and pressure required to make the vast amount of metamorphic rock in the earth’s crust is not today available. The source of energy to do that has to be tremendous and is not presently observed anywhere on earth. A catastrophic Flood that is spoken of in Genesis 6-9 could produce the forces needed to create metamorphic rock on the scale observed today. 4. Why are fossils found in abundance on every continent? Fossils are traces of plant and animal life that existed in the past and are found only in sedimentary rocks. Creationists believe that fossils were deposited during the global Flood, an obvious source of the water needed for both compaction and cementation. Fossils number in the trillions and suggest a swift catastrophic event that buried them before any decay or decomposition occurred. Rocks at one time had to be soft or have a liquid to flow over them and bury them. Castings of thousands of fish have been found in sedimentary layers. If these fish had lain on the groun
