Metamorphic rocks are formed from other rock that has been subjected to very high temperature and pressure.

When one of the earth's plates comes in contact with another either by both traveling opposite directions, straight into each other, or from one slipping under the other (subduction zone), the pressure/friction of the plates against each other melts the rocks and after they cool they are metamorphic. Example is in Washington state when the Juan de fuca plate is going under the North American plate the pressure/friction of this melts the rocks which then form metmorphic rock.

All options above are potential benefits of planting only native species when implementing rain gardens, no-mow native meadows, and/or tree plantings.

<h3>What are native species?</h3>

Native species are species that evolved in a particular environment and therefore they are well adapted to it.

Native plants are well know to be more adapted to survival and do not need extra watering to survive.

In conclusion, all options above are potential benefits of planting only native species when implementing rain gardens, no-mow native meadows, and/or tree plantings.
