1 I. FORMATION OF METAMORPHIC ROCKS:

2

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

11

12

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

18

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

26

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
