I. FORMATION OF METAMORPHIC ROCKS:
3
A metamorphic rock is one whose original form has been __________
changed
4
BY________ AND _____________
HEAT BY________ AND _____________ PRESSURE
5
THIS ALTERATION IS CALLED _____________
RE-CRYSTALLIZATION
6
These changes are NOT caused by
MELTING
7
If the rock melted and cooled it would be an _____________
IGNEOUS ROCK
8
1. Changes caused by _____________
RE-CRYSTALLIZATION (again)
9
May include the creation and growth of ________________________
NEW MINERAL CRYSTALS
10
Compressed metamorphic
2. Rocks which are intensely __________ can also become ____________ rock metamorphic
13
MAKING IT MORE DENSE AND RESISTANT TO WEATHERING
14
The growth of new minerals may cause the rock to appear
BANDED
15
foliated OR STRIPES OF LIGHT DARK MINERALS
16
pressure pressure pressure
17
SCHIST SHOWS BANDING
19
It can also ____________ (BEND) OR ______________ ORIGINAL STRUCTURES
DISTORT It can also ____________ (BEND) OR ______________ ORIGINAL STRUCTURES DESTROY
23
3. There are two types of Metamorphism:
Regional A. B. Contact
24
A.Regional metamorphism:
occurs over large areas with extreme pressures & temperatures
25
Photograph of regional metamorphism
New York State thruway
27
This extreme heat and pressure is what builds
MOUNTAINS
28
B. CONTACT METAMORPHISM
29
DOES NOT ZONE BUT _____________ MELT IT IS THE _________ OF
CONTACT WHERE AN IGNEOUS INTRUSION MEETS THE EXISTING ROCK BUT _____________ MELT IT ZONE DOES NOT
30
occurs only at the place where the magma contacts rock
Contact metamorphism occurs only at the place where the magma contacts rock SHALE SANDSTONE LIMESTONE IGNEOUS INTRUSION SANDSTONE
31
IGNEOUS Any kind of rock: SEDIMENTARY METAMORPHIC
32
TO FORM METAMORPHIC ROCK.
CAN UNDERGO RE-CRYSTALLIZATION TO FORM METAMORPHIC ROCK.
33
PARENT ROCK Is rock from which metamorphic rock is formed.
34
Limestone metamorphoses to become _________________ marble
35
Sandstone metamorphoses to become _________________ quartzite
36
Shale metamorphoses to become _________________ slate
37
Granite metamorphoses to become _________________ gneiss
38
We will not find fossils in Metamorphic rock because:
39
All traces of fossils have been recrystallized
40
