Forms from the metamorphism of Limestone or Dolostone.
Marble
What are the 2 processes that form Metamorphic rocks?
Heat and Pressure
What is the Metamorphic rock Mantra?
Intergrown crystals in an organized pattern
Which rock exhibits platy mica crystals due to Regional metamorphism?
Schist
Name the rock: Coarse-grained, contains distorted pebbles
Metaconglomerate
Name the rock: Contains only Mica
Slate
What is Foliation?
Minerals become aligned
Fine to medium grain size, contains clay minerals but never pyroxene
Phyllite
A metamorphic rock can show a structure of distorted layers. What causes this?
Extreme Pressure
What is the Parent rock of Marble?
Limestone or Dolostone
This rock forms from Contact Metamorphism of Shale.
Hornfels
What rock shows Banding?
Gneiss
Name the rock: Contact metamorphism of various rocks - due to extreme heat from nearby lava
Hornfels
Which sedimentary rock is most likely to be changed to SLATE during regional metamorphism?
Shale
What is the parent rock of Quartzite?
Sandstone
What is a difference in texture between the rocks SCHIST and QUARTZITE?
Schist is FOLIATED, Quartzite is not.
Name the rock: Foliated, High-grade metamorphism, contains pyroxene and quartz
Gneiss
Name the rock: Has Banding
Gneiss
Name the rock: Parent rock is Dolostone
Marble
