1 Which type of igneous rock forms on the surface of Earth from lava? Intrusive OR Extrusive

2

3  Metamorphic rocks form from other rocks due to intense heat and pressure***. There can be NO melting!  Metamorphic rocks are from recrystallization of unmelted material over a long period of time. This forms larger, denser crystals.

4 1. Regional – formed by forces acting over large areas, at great depth where extreme temperature*** and pressure exist.  High Pressure: caused by collisions of plates  A great region to find metamorphic rock is in mountains!

5  Foliation: reorientation of mineral grains  Banding: concentration of minerals into zones of light and dark colors

6 2. Contact – occurs at regions where magma comes into contact with pre-existing rock.  High temperature changes the rock without melting

7

8 1. Foliated  Examples: Slate, Gneiss, Schist, Phyllite 2. Non-Foliated  Examples: Hornfels, Marble, Quartzite

9 1. Check for foliation 2. Check for grain size 3. Check composition 4. Use ESRT (page 7)

10 1. Marble – metamorphic form of limestone

11 2. Quartzite – from sandstone

12 3. Slate – usually from metamorphism of shale

13  Phyllite – further metamorphism of slate

14  Schist – foliated – contains layering, is easily broken

15 6. Gneiss – highly distorted – contains banding  Usually from granite

16  Science Review Game- Mixed Rock Science Review Game- Mixed Rock
