What are metamorphic rocks? | U.S. Geological Survey - USGS.gov
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.

Metamorphism (disambiguation)
Metamorphism, in geology, is the solid state recrystallisation of rocks under environmental forces. Metamorphism may also refer to:
Metamorphism (Merzbow album) (2006).

Subduction zone metamorphism
Subduction zone metamorphism is characterized by a low temperature, high-ultrahigh pressure metamorphic path through the zeolite, prehnite-pumpellyite, The onset of a low-pressure phase of lawsonite is the most significant marker of prehnite-pumpellyite facies metamorphism.

Ultra-high-temperature metamorphism
In geology ultrahigh-temperature metamorphism (UHT) is extreme crustal metamorphism with metamorphic temperatures exceeding 900 °C. UHT granulite-facies metamorphism at high thermal gradients of greater than 30 °C/km.
