foliation
elongation
pressure solution
recrystallization
Brief Explanations
Foliation refers to layering in metamorphic rocks. Elongation is not the term for this process. Pressure - solution is related to dissolution under pressure. Recrystallization is the process where small mineral grains transform into larger, interlocking grains of the same mineral during metamorphism.
