Find a smooth, hard surface in your house or outside (no carpet). Make a mark on the ground. Get a ball or marble, and predict how far it will roll if you gently push it from your mark. Gently push the ball or marble, making sure that it does not hit a wall or a piece of furniture. Measure the distance it rolls, beginning at the starting mark you made. How close was your prediction? Why did the ball stop? What happened to the kinetic energy in the rolling ball? Give as much detail as you can.

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
