  1. Analogy to firing of potter’s clay The scientific value of metamorphic rocks is in what it tells you about ancient plate boundaries and history of mountain building Metamorphosis of limestones (a process similar to the production of cement and concrete) produces CO2 that eventually comes out volcanoes and can impact our climate.
