Following are examples of three metamorphic rocks and a list of their uses.
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.
Slate is another metamorphic rock that is used in buildings for floor and roofing tiles, and it was once used for blackboards.
Quartzite is used as a source of silica; other forms of metamorphic rocks are useful as building components, monuments, counter tops, and facings.

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.
Slate is used in roofing and flooring, quartzite is used as a source of silica, marble is used in furniture, tile and artwork; other forms are useful as building components like countertops and facings.
Metamorphic Rocks are used for making houses, roofs of houses, counter tops, floor tiles and is carved into statues.
The main type of energy used to help convert metamorphic rocks into igneous rocks is heat. This heat can come from processes such as magma intrusion, volcanic activity, or tectonic movements, causing the metamorphic rocks to melt and recrystallize into igneous rocks.
