best detailed answer gets brainliest! how are Metamorphic rocks with fine grains made and how did the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere cause changes to form the rock over time.

A rock is a naturally formed, non-living Earth material. Rocks are made of minerals. ... A rock may be made of only one type of mineral. More often rocks are made of a mixture of different minerals.

Metamorphic rocks (changed rocks) are made when existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and high pressures for long periods of time. Metamorphism (meta = change, morph = form) happens when molten rock intrudes other rocks and bakes the contact zone where the molten rock touches the preexisting rock. Metamorphism also happens when rocks are buried deeply during the process of mountain building. The kind of metamorphic rock made depends on the kind of original rock; for example, sandstone is turned to quartzite, shale is turned to slate, and limestone is turned to marble.

Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering.
