Our transcription: In addition to directed stress, rising temperature will cause minerals in a metamorphic rock to react, forming new crystal lattices and mineral types. This process, called "recrystallization", generally causes minerals to grow larger developing an interlocking texture resembling that of igneous rocks. For example, when the sedimentary rock, limestone, is metamorphosed by heat into marble, the fine grains of calcite in the original limestone recrystallize into large calcite crystals which interlock to give the emerging marble a course texture.
