Metamorphic rocks occur in the Earth's crust where rocks have been altered by heat and pressure — especially deep in mountain belts and at convergent plate boundaries, around igneous intrusions (contact zones), and in ancient continental shields (e.g., the Himalayas, Alps, Canadian Shield).
One characteristic: many metamorphic rocks show foliation — a layered or banded texture produced by pressure that aligns platy minerals (as in schist or gneiss).
