well
as
the

distribution
of
land

This
interactive
lesson
on
metamorphic
rocks
starts
with
a
review
of
the
rock
cycle
and
goes
on
to
describe
the
relationship
between
metamorphic
rocks
and
their
parent
rock.
The
lesson
then
describes
the
agents
of
metamorphism
(temperature,
pressure,
and
chemical
change)
and
moves
into
a
discussion
on
contact,
regional,
and
dynamic
metamorphism.
The

of
the
lesson
consists
of
