Define temperature using molecular theory

At the molecular level, temperature is related to the random motions of the particles (atoms and molecules) in matter. ... The temperature of the puddle, or of any object, is a measure of the average of the individual translational energies of all of its atoms or molecules.

Explanation: my science teacher already tought us this

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
