Metamorphoses is the Plural Noun of Metamorphosis: so it's the same.
Metamorphosed means: "Geology subject (rock) to Metamorphism" (a metamorphosed sandstone.)
Metamorphism means: "alteration of the composition or structure of a rock"
Metamorphosing means: [B]"change completely in form or nature"
So, the ONLY term that signals a COMPLETE CHANGE in Form or Nature is "MetamorphosING" [/B]
nope
Metamorphosed CAN apply to rock, but it also serves as the past tense to metamorphosis, the present tense of which is metamorphosing
met·a·mor·phose (mět'ə-môr'fōz', -fōs'😉
v. met·a·mor·phosed, met·a·mor·phos·ing, met·a·mor·phos·es
1. To change into a wholly different form or appearance; transform: "His eyes turned bloodshot, and he was metamorphosed into a raging fiend" (Jack London).
2. To subject to metamorphosis or metamorphism.
1. To change into a wholly different form or appearance; transform
Sounds like a complete change, no?
😉
Beyond that, you can't say "He is going to metamorphosing"
and you can't say "He metamorphosing"
You CAN say "He is going to metamorphose"
And you CAN say "He metamorphosed"
In context, the word is a verb, correct?
Look at the verbs: v. met·a·mor·phosed, met·a·mor·phos·ing, met·a·mor·phos·es
The word that your using is present tense. It cannot properly be used any other way.
