Final answer:

Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks altered by heat and pressure.


Explanation:

Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks that are altered by heat and pressure. When rocks are subjected to extreme increases in temperature or pressure, mineral crystals are enlarged or altered into entirely new minerals. This process occurs deep within the Earth's crust or when rocks come into contact with hot magma or lava.
