1. Rocks, Rocks, and More Rocks Metamorphic
Classified according to the arrangement of the grains that make up the rock & the minerals in them.

2. Metamorphic rocks are nicknamed “Changing Rocks”. Why?

3. How do Metamorphic rocks form?
From heat & pressure deep inside Earth

4. Metamorphic rocks can form from Igneous, Sedimentary, or other Metamorphic rocks as they are pushed down toward the heat of the mantle.

5. 2 Types of Metamorphic Rock
Foliated
Nonfoliated
“Banded”
“Nonbanded”

6. Foliated Metamorphic Rock
Def: Grains arranged in layers or bands that split into layers
Examples:
Slate Schist Gneiss

7. Original Rock New Metamorphic Rock
Heat & Pressure
Shale 
Slate
Shale (sedimentary) changes to Slate when heated & squeezed by pressure.

8. Original Rock  New Metamorphic Rock
Heat & Pressure
Granite Gneiss
Granite (Igneous) changes to Gneiss when heated & squeezed by pressure.

9. Nonfoliated Metamorphic Rock
Def: Mineral grains arranged randomly, do not split into layers
Examples:
Marble Quartzite

10. Original Rock  New Metamorphic Rock
Heat & Pressure
Sandstone Quartzite
When Sandstone (Sedimentary) is under extreme heat & pressure, Quartzite will form.

11. Uses of Metamorphic Rocks
Slate:
Marble:
Old fashioned chalkboards, roofs, walkways, trim on buildings *Sculptures (most famous – Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.) * Buildings * Countertops & Flooring

12. How are the 3 rock types related?

The Rock Cycle Song
To the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Sedimentary rock has been formed in layers Often found near water sources fossils and decayers Then there’s Igneous rock, here since Earth was born Magma, lava cooled and hardened that’s how it is formed These two kinds of rocks can also be transformed With pressure, heat, deep in Earth Metamorphic they’ll become
