Marble is a metamorphic rock that is used to make floor tiles, counter tops and it is carved into statues and was used extensively in the building of the Roman Colosseum and other historic buildings.

Metamorphic rocks are used as building materials, such as marble for countertops and slate for roofing tiles. They are also used as ornamental stones for sculptures and monuments due to their unique colors and patterns formed during the metamorphism process. Additionally, some metamorphic rocks like quartzite and schist are used in landscaping and as decorative stones.
