It distinguishes between foliated and non-foliated types and explores contact and regional metamorphism. Common examples like slate, schist, quartzite, and marble are highlighted, along with their applications in construction and art. Key concepts related to metamorphic rocks and their uses are emphasized throughout the lesson.
