Where is metamorphic rock found in nature?
Metamorphic rock can be found wherever metamorphic processes have occurred, be it at the roots of mountains, areas where plutonic intrusions have invaded host rock, or at depth from overlying pressure and heat. On the surface, metamorphic rocks are found in eroded mountain ranges, in glacial drift, as clasts in breccias and conglomerates, and in exposed areas of contact metamorphism.
