At the same time the particles of sediment begin to stick to each other - they are cemented together by clay, or by minerals like silica or calcite.

Its name is from 'morph' (meaning form), and 'meta' (meaning change). The original rock gets heated (temperatures greater than 150 to 200 °C) and pressured (1500 bars). This causes profound physical and/or chemical change.]]> 2018-01-30 21:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/304870/vzflm03d0g1y/wish/226356009 304870 https://padlet.com/304870/vzflm03d0g1y/wish/226356754 Molten rock usually located deep within the mantle of the Earth that occasionally comes to the surface through cracks in the mantle or through the eruption of volcanoes.
