Metamorphic rocks are located all over the world, inside and out. Metamorphic rocks form deep within the Earth because the extreme heat and pressure rearrange the minerals in igneous rocks. However, because of uplift and erosion, metamorphic rock formations are found on Earth's surface.

I hope this helps!
