Come in Quietly and sit at your desk, open to your notes, write the new question, and wait quietly for class to begin.

4. Metamorphic Rock Metamorphic Meta + Morphos =
The word metamorphic comes from meta, meaning “changed,” the word morphos, meaning “shape.”
Metamorphic
Meta + Morphos =

5. Metamorphic Rock
Metamorphic rocks are those in which the structure, texture, or composition of the rock has changed.

6. Metamorphic Rock
Rock can undergo metamorphism by heat or pressure acting alone, or by a combination of the two.

7. Metamorphic Rock Igneous Metamorphic Sedimentary
All three rock types – igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic – can change into metamorphic rock.
Igneous
Metamorphic
Sedimentary

8. Origins of Metamorphic Rock
The texture or composition of a rock can change if the temperature or pressure of a new environment is different from the one the rock formed in.

9. Origins of Metamorphic Rock
Most metamorphic change is caused by increased pressure. This takes place at depths greater than 2 km. At depths more than 16 km the pressure can be more than 4000 times the pressure of the atmosphere.

10. Origins of Metamorphic Rock
The temperature at which metamorphism occurs ranges from 50°C to 1000°C. At temperatures greater than 1000°C most rock will melt. Metamorphism does not melt rock. Melted rock would then become magma and then igneous rock.

11. Cooked Metamorphic Rock
Metamorphic rock generally looks as if they have been cooked and squeezed. An example of this might be garnet schist.

12. Contact Metamorphism
When magma moves through the crust, it flows near surrounding rock and “cooks” it.

13. Contact Metamorphism
Contact Metamorphism happens when the magma comes near rock, heats it, but does not melt it. This will effect a small amount of rock.

14. Regional Metamorphism
Rock can also undergo regional metamorphism when enormous pressure builds up in the rock that is deeply buried under other rock formations, or when large pieces of the Earth collide with each other.

15. Birthstones
Birthstones are gemstones, or mineral crystals. For each month of the year, there are one or two different birthstones. What is your birthstone?

16. Composition of Metamorphic Rock
When conditions within the Earth’s crust change, the minerals of a rock may no longer be stable in the new environment.

17. Composition of Metamorphic Rock
The original minerals change into minerals that are more stable in the new temperature and pressure conditions.

18. Composition of Metamorphic Rock
Many of these new minerals occur only in metamorphic rock. Temperature, pressure conditions, and composition of the rock, will determine which metamorphic minerals will form.

19. Textures of Metamorphic Rock
Texture is used to classify metamorphic rock. All metamorphic rock has two textures, foliated and nonfoliated.

20. Foliated Metamorphic Rock
Foliated metamorphic rock consists of minerals that are aligned and look almost like the pages of a book.

21. Foliated Metamorphic Rock
Foliated metamorphic rock contains mineral grains that are aligned by pressure.

22. Foliated Metamorphic Rock
The effects of metamorphism depend on the amount of heat and pressure applied to the rock.

23. Nonfoliated Metamorphic Rock
Nonfoliated metamorphic rock does not appear to have any regular pattern.

24. Nonfoliated Metamorphic Rock
The lack of aligned mineral grains make metamorphic rock nonfoliated.
