Catastrophism and uniformitarianism are two contrasting processes that have shaped Earth's surface over time. Catastrophism involves sudden, violent events like volcanoes and earthquakes, while uniformitarianism relies on gradual processes such as erosion. Geologists study these processes to underst

Metamorphic rocks are formed deep beneath the Earth's surface through heat and pressure, leading to changes in the rock's structure. Geologists classify these rocks based on grain arrangement into foliated (layered) and nonfoliated (random). Examples include slate, schist, gneiss, marble, and quartz
