1. AIM: What are Metamorphic Rocks
Learning objective: To learn the formation process of metamorphic rocks.
How will I learn: I will learn about metamorphic rocks using a note taking guide.
How will I know when I have it: I will know when I have it when I can tell how metamorphic rocks form differently from other rocks

3. Formation of Metamorphic Rocks
Metamorphism – “to change form”
high temperatures and pressures beneath the surface causes pre-existing rocks to change.
created from other rocks; igneous sedimentary and metamorphic
Schist
Slate
Gneiss

4. Contact Metamorphism – takes place in a small area
II. TYPES OF METAMORPHOSIM
Contact Metamorphism –
takes place in a small area
when hot magma moves into
rock and touches the rock.
B. Regional Metamorphism –
takes place over a large
area, usually under mountains
and results in high-grade
metamorphism.
*This symbol indicates contact metamorphism took place

5. II. Agents of Metamorphism
A. Heat (magma or lava)- allows the minerals to move around and recrystallize.
B. Pressure (Stress) –
squeezes the rock
changing the density
and alignment(pattern).
How would the density change after metamorphism?

6. III. Classification of Metamorphic Rocks
Foliated Metamorphic Rocks (pattern) - minerals have aligned and show a pattern either mineral alignment or banding.

Gneiss

7. B. Nonfoliated Metamorphic Rocks – - does not show a pattern.
- has a frosted appearance
Quartzite
Marble

10. The type of metamorphism section tells you how the rock was created
The comments section gives a accurate description of the rock and it’s parent rock
