LMS Ch 6.4 DR

Metamorphic Rock Directed Reading

QuestionAnswer
Hot fluids, heat, and cause some minerals to change into other minerals?? Pressure.
Minerals might change in size or shape, or they sometimes separate into that give rocks a layered apperance?? Parallel Bands.
Hot fluids from magma can circlulate through the rock and change the mineral by dissolving some minerals and adding others?? Composition.
The type of rock that forms because of can indicate the conditions that were in place when the original rock changed?? Metamorphism.
One type of metamorphism occurs when small volumes of rock come in contact with?? Magma.
The second type of metamorphism occurs when large areas of Earth's crust are affected by the heat and pressure caused by the movement and collisions of?? Tectonic Plates.
Foliation?? The matamorphic rock texture in which mineral grains are arranged in planes or bands.
Slate?? A foliated rock that forms when pressure is exerted on the sedimentary rock shale.
Schist?? A coarse-grained rock that forms when large amounts of heat and pressure are exerted on slate.
Gneiss?? A metamorphic rock that forms when intense heat and pressure underground cause the minerals in schist to separate into bands as the minerals recrystallize.
Nonfoliated?? The metamorphic rock texture in which mineral grains are not arranged in planes of bands.
Quartzite?? A nonfoliated rock that forms when quartz sandstone is metamorphosed.
Marble?? A metamorphic rock that forms from the compression of limestone.
