Team Competition Metamorphic rocks are derived from rocks Rock metamorphism is caused by , and involves changes in of a rock If a rock is heated to the point at which it melts then . Presented by Team Breccia Critique by Team Sandstone During metamorphism, minerals recrystallize without melting. Here, shale composed of clay minerals made of silicon, oxygen, aluminum, iron, magnesium, sodium, and other elements experiences metamorphism under high pressure at a convergent plate margin. As conditions within the crust become more intense, elements in clay recombine to form new, more stable minerals. The result is a metamorphic rock called gneiss that consists of an assemblage of metamorphic minerals aligned in bands. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Learning Objective 4 I can relate the foliated metamorphic rocks, index minerals, and metamorphic facies, to the degree of metamorphic grade. The appearance, “face”, or “facies” of a metamorphic rock depends on the assemblage (combination) of the minerals that form at different pressures and temperatures. There are 7 metamorphic facies that form at different metamorphic grades. Do you see the face in this eclogite? Suggested tips to give students: The concept of metamorphic facies (from the Latin for “face”) was developed by Pentti Eskola in1915. He wrote: “In any rock of a metamorphic formation, which has arrived at a chemical equilibrium through metamorphism at constant temperature and pressure conditions, the mineral composition is controlled only by the chemical composition.” Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
